It's "struct", not "Struct".

unsigned char is very likely to be the same as uint8_t.  It's not
guaranteed (which is why uint8_t was added by C99), but it's easily
checked by examining the value of UCHAR_MAX in <limits.h>.

There are C89-compatible implementations of <stdint.h>.  One of them is
here: http://www.lysator.liu.se/(nobg)/c/q8/index.html

Why are you restricted to C89?
