NAME
     long, short - integer object conversion

SYNOPSIS
     integer*4 function long (int2)
     integer*2 int2

     integer*2 function short (int4)
     integer*4 int4

DESCRIPTION
     These functions provide conversion between short and long
     integer objects.  Long is useful when constants are used in
     calls to library routines and the code is to be compiled
     with ``-i2''.  Short is useful in similar context when an
     otherwise long object must be passed as a short integer.
