shorts and longs

it was my understanding that a c type short was equal to a vb type integer, and a c type
long was equal to a vb type long.

according to the tif file specs, the compression tag (259) stores it's value (either 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 32773) as a short type (a vb integer) but as you can see, one of the
valid values of the compression type is 32773, which is out of the range of a vb integer.
so, when i Dim m_Compression as Integer and the return value is 32773, i get an overflow
obviously. i can change it to Dim m_Compression as Long, but will that cause any trouble
i'm not aware of?
