Mmm if you cast a char to an int in the new code, oops. Mmm unsigned char to int.
I should know better I think I had the same C coding bug many years ago that caused quite a disaster at the time.
Worse yet you fixed a piece of my code with exactly that bug (cf "Win Tim's money!" not so very long ago. Err, well a couple of years ago.

Ah, how soon we forget. Mind you couldn't find it if I recall...
The fix for the bug, since some of you can recompile the os-x version is
/* keystate: low byte is the ascii character; next 4 bits are modifier bits */ asciiChar = (unsigned char) macCharCode;
This does not affect os-9 users.
