- I must admit that I had assumed that Petzold in "Programming Windows"
- was speaking authoritively on Hungarian Notation. In that book he is
- quite specific about using separate prefixes for ints and longs. After
- reading the Simonyi paper recently posted I find I am in more agreement
- than after reading Petzold. I still don't like Hungarian but perhaps
- brain damage is too harsh an epithet.
