23 /* partial change history:
25 * 2004-10-10 mbp: Lift out character type dependencies into macros.
27 * Eric Sosman pointed out that ctype functions take a parameter whose
28 * value must be that of an unsigned int, even on platforms that have
29 * negative chars in their default char type.
32 * Changes for Rockbox:
33 * This version is changed slightly to deal better with the datatypes,
34 * it does not equal to the original software.
