Even more BD. (Reminds me a bit of Borland keeping `Integer' 16 bits on 32 bit Delphi. BTW, have they finally changed it in newer versions?)
"Integer" has always been 32-bit on 32-bit Delphi platforms. It is "Word" that has remained 16-bit (and it still is 16-bit). "Cardinal" is 32-bit, and so is "LongWord".
