Ignore the cvs.cleveland.lug.net server.  It's only going to be around until
I can get another developer to get his code off it.  Sourceforge is the real
one.

That is, according to every spec I've every read, the correct behavior.  The
'}' is actually a zone-shifted zero.  100} would mean -1000.  We've actually
been around the block a few times about the behavior of these numeric fields.

I think the whole idea of displaying a zone shifted character on the screen
is rather stupid, but I think that this is the correct behavior.
