i dont know what i dont know! how should i know! i'm like the blue fish in disneys nemo film.

yet one thing dimly shines through the ages:

in s390 architecture, a 4 byte quartet is called a word by definition, i'm quite sure about this, since also the ebcdic character set is larger. there a double word is 8 bytes / 64 bits long. i did not know its different in x86, sorry about it
