Thanks! I'm using this approach now.

Me always use unsigned char. In Borland C++, I had a compiler switch, in
GCC, I do it explictly!

It will be my_types.h! :-))

Sorry. And BTW, I dunno anything about newsgroups, etc. Some html page had
this djgpp mailing group bit and I registered. Thats all. Cd u tell me if
something similair is possibe for a c++ newsgroup?
