Oh, my program mostly uses unsigned numbers. The values probably will never
go over 2 billion but I use unsigned because negative values don't make
sense for most of the variables in my program.
I don't understand the bitfield thing. signed and unsigned both work just
fine for bitfields. I use signed for that, otherwise I'll be typing an
additional word (unsigned) for the type when it doesn't give me anything.
