Nonsense, this has nearly nothing to do with unix. This is true for most 32 bit systems, though unix has nothing to do with 32 bit. You obviously haven't seen any 64 bit systems yet, where most probably int is 32 bit and long is 64 bit, but of course int could be 64 bit without any problems too. All you can rely on is int beeing >= 16bit and long >= 32bit. > To see the size of your variables check out the limits.h file.
