Hi there.. 
Just wondering if anyone could help me with the amiga data types as 
defined in exec/types.h..

Common problems I am having are scanning a UBYTE[] into UWORD 
components.. like this

UBYTE dest[21];

strcpy (dest, "366/359.3");

sscanf(dest, "%d/%d.%d", &net, &node, &point);

where net, node and point are UWORD net, node, point;

when i 
printf("%d/%d.%d\n", net, node, point);
i get something like
359/3.0

???? Any ideas?! Im really stuck, i have tried all sorts of casting and 
could get nothing to work except when 
int net, node, point;
it worked right..

thanks in advance.

bernard
