Re: RPG Freeform Data Types

At the risk af always being wrong when reverse-enghineering these things:

int and uns can be found in C - the former as is for data type, and I did see the latter as a typedef for unsigned int

Not that I would say that these are based on C, just finding parallels.

Can I rant a little? Why was it decided to abbreviate the
integer, graphic, unsigned, and indicator data types? It can't be the
length of the keyword, because pointer and timestamp are in the same
length range (7-9) and they weren't abbreviated PTR and TST, respectively
(for example). Also, what would have been wrong with allowing both the
abbreviated and the non-abbreviated spellings for those that either do or
do not like to spell things out? </rant>
