Yes, you are talking about 16-bit processors, where the word size was 16 bits (two bytes), and sizeof(int) == 2. However, I can't remember any C compilers for Intel x86 processors where sizeof(long) != 4. Yes, 'int' was a 16-bit type, but IIRC, 'long' has always been a 32-bit type (a so-called DWORD back then) - just as the C standard requires, as others mentioned. > but i don't have in this time box with that > procesors for research this situactions and this is only theory that bug > becouse i don't know whether apache we can run on this OLD procesors. It's not just a matter of processors. You have to have OS support for sockets and stuff. Yes, this can be done under Windows in 16-bit mode or MS-DOS with the appropriate socket library, like WATTCP - http://google.com/search?q=Apache+WATTCP Still, see above for the reasons this will NOT be a problem even then. sizeof(long) >= 4, and that's that.
