NAME

     long, short - integer object conversion


SYNOPSIS

     integer*4 function long (int2)
     integer*2 int2

     integer*2 function short (int4)
     integer*4 int4


DESCRIPTION

     These functions provide conversion between  short  and  long
     integer  objects.  long is useful when constants are used in
     calls to library routines, and the code is  to  be  compiled
     with -i2.

     short is useful in a similar context, when an otherwise long
     object must be passed as a short integer.
