Michi,

I have not seen the new code, but it seems that he has changed the
textout function
to take only positive values, he must have updated this for a reason so
you'd be better
off changing your code to suit the new.

There are 2 ways that you could do this.
1) Search and replace, changing your char * types to unsigned char *
types where necessary.
2) Cast the offending variables to unsigned char *,
I am not trying to insult you, but as a point of reference you cast a
varibale thus:

{
char *message;
...
...
   some_function( (unsigned char *)message );
   etc...
}

I hope that this is of help
