This is in X11R5. In the file mit/server/include/misc.h, the macros MAXSHORT and MINSHORT are #defined to be 32767 and -32767, respectively. On my machine (NeXT), this macros are already defined. This itself is no problem, but on the NeXT, MINSHORT is #defined as ((short)0x8000), which equals -32768! My questions: Why is there this descrepancy? Is there not a standard for this value? Is one of these values specifically wrong? Should I just go with the value as #defined in the X server code? Thanks for any input. -- Douglas Scott (805)893-8352 Center for Computer Music Research and Composition University of California, Santa Barbara Internet: (NeXTMail ok) <doug@foxtrot.ccmrc.ucsb.edu>
