Strange - at the end of my copy of util.c (marked 3.0.1.5 90/03/27
16:35:13) is this:

	#ifndef CASTNEGFLOAT
	unsigned long
	castulong(f)
	double f;
	{
		long along;

		if (f >= 0.0)
		return (unsigned long)f;
		along = (long)f;
		return (unsigned long)along;
	}
	#endif

I think John had better check his whole package, possible ftp it from
scratch.
