In my version here, 0 and 7 are associated, 8 and 15, 16 and 23, 24 and 31.
Declarations with one are automatically made with the other.

The problem is in EMPSUBS/getrel.c.  In the line that calculates the
value for "shift", the expression, (c2 % 7) should be (c2 % 8).  Just
change the 7 to a 8 in both routines (getrel() and putrel()) and the
problem should be solved.
