Yes - I was responding to the assertion that all Unices are 32 bits. FYI, a
quick poll of the platforms I can connect to today gives:

   Mac - 16 bits
   Win32 - 16 bits
   OS/2 ICC - 16 bits
   All versions of SunOS (including Sparc Ultra V9) - 32 bits
   AIX - 16 bits
   Linux - 32 bits
   HP-UX - 32 bits
   OS390 - 16 bits
