I'm using Codewarrior for the Mac.  I assume, therefore, that this compiler
doesn't handle shorts well, so I might want to convert shorts to ints and note
any changes.

Only reason I use them is to conserve memory, which is kind of ridiculous
nowadays.  I wonder if there is some reason for the warning, like, on some
occasions the implicit conversion might fail.
