Dates in excel are stored a a single precision number 24 bit IEEE
standard and uses 4 bytes (32bits) to store the data. Integers were 16
bits (2 byes) but I'm told they are being stored as long which is also
32 bit. Characters are 1 byte (8 bit) per character but I believe the
actual storage of the string has the byte count before the actual data
(I don't think you actually see the byte count when it is passed to
another function).
