antares [tmp]203 cat >t.mod
MODULE Test;
 
FROM InOut IMPORT WriteHex, WriteInt, WriteLn;

VAR
  int : INTEGER;

BEGIN
  int := -32768;
  WriteHex(CARDINAL(int), 12);
  WriteInt(int, 12);  WriteLn
END Test.
antares [tmp]204 make t
m2c   -sun3 -o t -e t t.mod
antares [tmp]205 ./t
    FFFF8000      -32768

Looks ok to me.

BTW:  We run Sun OS 4.0.1 EXPORT
      Sun Modula-2 Compiler, Release 2.1, key S31.11
