I was having real problems getting my numeric conversion routine working
for integers; it was fine for cardinals.  The routine converts a string
to a longint and then does a range check before a conversion.  But, beware:

	WriteLongInt(VAL(LONGINT, MAX(INTEGER)), 10);
	WriteLongInt(VAL(LONGINT, MIN(INTEGER)), 10);

produces the output

	     32767     32768

Pretty sad ... so longints are STILL buggy in Logitech 3.x.  Can anybody
check if this is also true in the OS/2 version?
