.SH NAME
long, short \- integer object conversion
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B integer*4 function long (int2)
.br
.B integer*2 int2
.sp 1
.B integer*2 function short (int4)
.br
.B integer*4 int4
.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions provide conversion between short and long integer objects.
.I Long
is useful when constants are used in calls to library routines and
the code is to be compiled with ``-i2''.
.I Short
is useful in similar context when an otherwise long object must be
passed as a short integer.
