size of unsigned long and 13!

[jefritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I have no idea how many corrections I've gotten 
on the maximum size of an unsigned long.  Ten 
minutes after leaving work I realized I said 
that the maximum size was 2^32.  Silly me.  It 
has been for some time 2^32 - 1. 

It doesn't invalidate the rest of what I said 
about integers rolling over.  FFFFFFFF + 1 = 
00000000 with the leftmost digit falling off 
into the bit bucket.

I guess I've been writing RPG long enough to 
forget that most of the rest of the world starts 
counting with 0.

If I'm lucky, I posted the original to Midrange-
L and not RPG400-L and this will get there 
before anyone notices.
