Summary: unsigned char v. char


In my opinion, I feel that everything documented in IM as a CHAR should be an unsigned char in C.  IM makes no mention of signed char's...and has thus documented the entire OS/Toolbox w/the assumption that all chars are unsigned.  (Well, signed chars don't make much sense in Pascal).  signed chars have caused more than one problem for me in the past...  Why not keep them as unsigned chars?
