Damn, I should have read that first... done it now. It's not perfectly
portable though, because unsigned long is only required by ISO C to be
>=32bits, if I remember correctly. There is hardware out there which
has a larger address space than the size of the integer registers (an
example is the 68040 and 68060, which have 32-bit registers and 40-bit
addresses, if I'm not much mistaken). It all still depends on the OS,
of course.
