The only assumption is that characters are 8 bit. Apart from that, the code does not assume anything except what the C standard defines. However, I'm just a human being, which means that I'm making errors (see todays mail from Piotr for an example). And because I have not tested the compiler on a platform with 16 bit ints, you will be the first one experiencing all my errors in this area.
