The tgetrec routine in macget should have the line
	return chsum
replaced by the line
	return (chksum & BYTEMASK);

This change is for VAXEN only.  The problem comes up when the checksum is 255.
The VAX sign extends the checksum resulting in -1 being returned.  This is not
good!!!

My regrets if this bug has already been found and posted.
