Hi

     The useless compiler warning is this:

warning:  decimal constant is so large that it is unsigned

I KNOW that it's unsigned, and it's supposed to be.  It's the right hand 
side of an initialization like this:

unsigned int x = 4294967294;

I'd just ignore it as a minor annoyance, but my boss insists that I find a 
way to silence it  (he doesn't know C himself).

Thank you very much in advance.  Please reply to my email as I'm not
subscribed to the list...  P.S.  I already tried typecasting the large 
constant as an unsigned int, as if to tell the compiler that I was well 
aware it was too large to be signed, but that didn't help.

Sam
