It does mean a lot of "Unsupported data type" messages from my LINKIMAGEd
stuff once I start using the new types. I don't suppose we can convince them
to put an IDL_VERSION define in "external.h".

Nein. The new unsigned (16-bit) integer is type 12, followed
by the 32-bit unsigned integer as type 13. Then the 64-bit
integer at 14, with the new 64-bit unsigned integer as type 15.

Wow! 15 data types. Can't say RSI isn't listening to
someone! :-)

Cheers,

David
