Subj : enumerated variables - how to coerce them to anything else than an Int ?

Hello all,

  I've got a structure (not designed by me) that consists outof a number of
longs.  Several of it's members contain enumerated data, like { default,
yes, no }.

I would like to make sure that I normally cannot put anything else in the
structure-member than what's permitted for it, but have hit a snag : I do
not seem to be able to enumerate anything else than Int's (the compiler's
default).

My question : Is here a way to overrule that default setting so I can create
enumerated longs or chars ?   (My search on the Web did not turn up anything
other than "it's not available")

Regards,
  Rudy Wieser
