Comment #6 by Brian G:

Please dont make that change!

Well then . back to That would force me to rewrite many apps and many lines of code.

There are still 32bit pointers, and emulated pointers etc, it is the only unsigned value we have in gambas aside from byte.
Then i guess you would also make it impossible to save to a long as of course it is signed. so, therefore not able to convert or save to any
value type at all in gambas.

After so many years, you decide to make a massive change to the language, no backward compatibility at all.

If this changes then pretty much I guess it is time to move to a more stable environment, after all i will need to change pretty much everything
to do with structures buffers in most of my apps, for me a very very sad day.

Thanks Ben.
