void l3tol(); l3tol(lp,cp,N);
The "l3tol" function converts three-byte integers into longs. Three-byte integers let you "pack" values into a character string and thereby save some space.
Character strings and integers are ordered in different ways on different machines. Therefore programs using "l3tol" and its partner "ltol3" may be non-portable.
