You deserve the same 'credit' for quoting code from a known purveyor of crap code as you'd deserve for writing it yourself. Although to their credit Intel do seem to be capable of writing slightly better code these days than they used to.

Even some Intel machines have 64-bit longs nowadays. Certainly there's no excuse for that particular error. It's just a gratuitous non-portability.

You have to let me have fun -- it's boring just correcting you every time you mislead a newbie.
I wouldn't bother if you weren't just picking on people who don't know better, but if you're going to cruelly post utterly broken code in response to a genuine question, someone needs to say something.
