No, 'off_t' (actually '_off_t') is 'long' on all I've checked (MSVC v6, MingW
Watcom and Digital Mars).

Only MingW and Digital Mars have strtoll().

Natively it does, but in the various libc it's little support for it.
There is fstati64(), telli64(), lseeki64() etc. in MingW/MSVC (not the
libc, but in the MSVCRT.DLL), so resuming >2GB files should work.
I think using e.g. fwrite() on large files works fine.

They all have 64-bit longs ('long long' or '__int64'). So 'filesize_t' should
be careful not to use use 64 bit file-offsets.
