Whoops. I meant 16-bit versus 32-bit integers, when switching from 16-bit to 32-bit systems. Sorry for the confusion. Fortunately, they didn't repeat that mess

Whoops. I meant 16-bit versus 32-bit integers, when switching from 16-bit to 32-bit systems. Sorry for the confusion. Fortunately, they didn't repeat that mess for 32/64 bits, at least not for integers, but "decades old code" is still affected.
