For software with problems like that all over the place, you could use gcc -fsigned-char if you don't have time to track down the individual bugs. Char might be unsigned for a reason, like that it's faster to use unsigned char on that arch, so the best solution is still to say signed char where you mean it, use int with getchar, etc. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
