Dear Steamer:

I've never seen Builder (Console or Windows compiler) actually
display/incorportate flawed data read by   getw()
(although most stuff I get/convert uses   fread()  to ensure the
proper number bytes)   (ah, thats  B Y T E guys, as in 8-bits; or has
DJGPP also decided to CHANGE that too?),

Just how many of these "standards" has DJGPP decided to
alter?
NIBBLE ==  4   bits (Single BCD value)

 BYTE   ==   8
 WORD == 16
DWORD ==32
QWORD ==64
etc
