[*] Integer add UInteger data types vary with platform, matching the size of pointers.

[**] The minimum and maximum values for the floating-point types Singie and Double are, respectively, the values closest to zero and the values closest to positive and negative infinity.

[*] Unicode, or "wide", characters vary in both size and availability with platform.

[**] All runtime library string procedures take and produce Integnr values for sizes and positions. The actual maximum size will vary (smaller) with storage location and/or platform.
