file format

Could someone tell me the size and c++ equivalent of the following:

Code:

DWORD
BYTE
WORD
SHORT
LONG

I found these in a file format specification, and there was no info on how big these are;

use sizeof() to find the sizes

I believe the following may be the intended sizes:

Code:

DWORD -> 32-bit, 4-byte, unsigned (likely unsigned long)
BYTE  ->  8-bit, 1-byte, unsigned (likely unsigned char)
WORD  -> 16-bit, 2-byte, unsigned (likely unsigned short)
SHORT -> 16-bit, 2-byte,   signed (likely short)
LONG  -> 32-bit, 4-byte,   signed (likely long)

Thanks...
Are there any other like this...
Just curious...
