	Someone from the Netherlands responded to my post about
	reading physical sectors from a Hard Disk.  His code was
	accurate and worked... Setting bit 3 in the rwflag enabled
	physical sectors to be read... but...  Secno however,
	is an int and can not be higher than 32767 or 65535 if 
	Rwabs can handle unsigned, so how do I read sectors
	higher than those?

	Thanks in advance.
