Wow!, Thanks, Jose-Marcio, Michael, NeonJohn, David and Tim, I am out-of-date and out-of-touch. You've taught me a lot. I didn't distinguish whether '64bit' was processor or OS. Now I know. I knew nothing of intXX_t. I did wonder whether a new long long int or an extra long int had appeared. I'm using gcc, so I'll inspect sys/types.h, and experiment.
"Long long", <stdint.h>, and the intXXX_t types were introduced officially in C99. They have been supported for longer in some compilers, including gcc. So yes, you are a little out of date!
Thanks for all your trouble and informative replies. I'm sure I'll not be the only one to benefit. JJ
