I have noticed that some of the arguments passed to certain system routines
e.g ScrollRaster(), AddGadget(), although declared as SHORT in the RKM
manuals (even the new RKM includes & Autodocs) are in fact long's (32 bits).
I was told by CATS (U.K.), that these are errors and were probably caused by
the Autodocs being created from the original Greenhills compatiable 'C' source
code (was it on a DEC VAX ?). I.e. SHORT is declared as 32 bits.
Anyone in netland care to comment on this ?
The reason I ask is that I've had some interesting looking screens using
ScrollRaster();.
