1) I didn't post the question, just the answer
2) Your solution doesn't work
3) You are a twit.

Even `~(((unsigned)(~0))>>1)' (the portable solution) doesn't work on V6.
Evidently the compiler gets confused about unsigned constants. Replacing
the cast with `x=' (where x has been declared unsigned) does work tho.

I thought the mailer would include the return address, so I never gave 
it. However, this is not the first time I have seen a request for my
rtn adr from a uucp site. I now give it as a matter of course. We have
VAXen running VMS (yuk), 4.2BSD, a SUN, VME/10 (68K) SYS V port. There
are lots of other machines at The National Bureau of Standards.
