On your system and architecture, do the compile and run the following.
#include <stdio.h>
void main () {
printf ("int: %d long: %d\n", sizeof (int), sizeof (long));
}
If they're the same, you can probably get away with changing an int to
long. If not, you might to bundle two int's together.
Try to keep like types grouped together within a structure, this will
prevent unwanted byte padding as much as possible.
