   This program demonstrates the use of the 'typedef'
    statement to create aliases for previously defined data
    types.  The 'typedef' statement does not create a new
    data type; it merely creates a new type name which may
    be used in place of the existing type name.  In the
    first example below, the name 'Integer' is defined to
    have the same meaning as 'unsigned int' and can be used
    in its place throughout the program.  The second example
    allows 'IntPtr' to be used in place of 'unsigned int *'
    throughout the program.
