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 rou-
       tines 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.
