I am aware of the differences between signed and unsigned types. (I
must admit to being surprised to see that type char is signed. That
makes no sense to me.) I was wondering if they behaved differently,
i.e. can I substitute an oByte for a Byte in my program code without
any ramifications? I am using it in a switch (case) statement which
defines the states in my state machine. I am trying to follow the
state transitions by watching the data object in real time.
