Hi,

I have a question I was hoping someone could answer.
Does the "unsigned char" C type have any machine architecture portability 
problems ?
I rather suspect the answer is NO, since I seem to recall that "The Design 
and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System" book mentions that 
bytes/octets are network portable in their native bit-ordering.

Thanks in advance,
Robin Carey.
