Unit ATypes;

 Provides several independent Types:
  Int1  8-bit signed Integer
  UInt1  8-bit unsigned Integer
  Int2 16-bit signed Integer
  UInt2 16-bit unsigned Integer
  UInt4 32-bit unsigned Integer (signed in BP and VP!!!)
  Int4 32-bit signed Integer
  uInt8 64-bit unsigned Integer
  aChar 8Bit char
 ***********************************
|--------|
|Warning:|
|--------|
Only calculate with uint4 after $I beginUDW.inc and before $I endUDW.inc
or you will get Runtime errors when using BP, that typically arrise half a
year after coding!
