Well, actually they do not mention unsigned char being as there was no such thing in Version VI or even many Version VII systems. In fact the system I am using right now, an Interdata 8/32 with Wollongong Edition VII does not have either unsigned char or unsigned long. What they say is that chars might sign extend and might not depending on the machine, which is even more confusing. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny @ Don Steiny Software 109 Torrey Pine Terrace Santa Cruz, Calif. 95060 (408) 425-0382
