  In the Paradise Netrek packet.h (or was it struct.h?) file, I rewrote all
the packets to use some typedefs such as INT32, CARD32, INT16, CARD16, INT8,
CARD8, so I could compile it on a KSR-1 system.  Of course, if the compiler's
struct packing was the least bit surprising, everything would get shot to
shit.
