Coming from a 1's complement environment, I misinterpreted this and shot my mouth off. Sorry, folks. I'm just learning about all this network stuff. [I still have a problem with some wording in RFC1009, but am not sure this is the proper place to raise it. Can someone advise me on this?] -- John G Dobnick Computing Services Division @ University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee UUCP:!uwvax!uwmcsd1!jgd INTERNET: jgd@csd4.milw.wisc.edu John, We plead guilty of 2's-complement bigotry. I actually did not know there are still 1's complement machines in the world, in fact... Please send along any and all comments and suggestions on RFC0-1009 to us. We are starting to think about the first revision. Bob Braden braden@isi.edu
