It's one thing to get a warning for passing signed strings when Allegro is expecting unsigned, because a warning is all that is, and it will still work. Switching to ints would prevent people from passing immediate strings to the function at all, IMHO a very bad thing... /* * Shawn Hargreaves - shawn AT talula DOT demon DOT co DOT uk - http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/ * Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament. */
