The standard doesn't provide for specifically unsigned types, so I do not believe anyone would want to go through that trouble. Sorry. On 2000-01-19, Martin Neumann mentioned: > Are there any plans to implement unsigned datatypes like uint4 and > uint8? > > In many cases I don't need the signed

[GENERAL] Unsigned Datatypes

2000-01-19 Thread Martin Neumann
