More accurately: -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
(or generally: -2N−1 to +2N−1-1, in our case N=32).
between 0x00000000 and 0xFFFFFFFF
(while all numbers with the highest bit set to 1 (all those ranging from 0x80000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF) will be interpreted as negative numbers: 0xFFFFFFFF is -1, 0xFFFFFFFE is -2 and so on.)
in other words: you can use anything that fits into a 32 bit signed integer.
Magic number is a ULONG.
ulong #
The ulong type also occupies 8 bytes and can store values from 0 to 18 446 744 073 709 551 615.

Anyone got the link or know where is the 'official' definition of the minimum and maximum values for the magic number?
I am looking for the 'official' definition.
