Well, almost. On machines with character pointers of different length and
structure from other pointers (and in all cases, just to please lint)
you should say

	read(fd, (char *) &y, sizeof y)

Ok Doug?

By the way, does anyone know of such a Unix implementation (one in which
the statement above, without the cast, won't work?
