I fixed this problem when I took over AmigaUUCP from Matt in 1992 (91? - I forget). 1.17b4 is available for FTP on stargate.warped.com and on wade1.ab.umd.edu. It's a "drop-in" replacement, but I recommend you read the changes files. It really has nothing to do with 16-bit arithmetic by the way. -- // Michael B. Smith \X/ mbs@adastra.cvl.va.us
