Why not make quick work of it and cast them, for the purpose of sanity check, to
see what is going on.  Example;

if ( (unsigned int)var1 >= (unsigned int) var2 )

Then whittle the problem down from there.  CCS ought to be ansi, but I believe
that C assumes int (16 bit) by default.  That one can sneak up on you subtly,
like when you use a const in amongst some long variables, and it assumes int.
You have to add an L at the end to drive it home.

250 would only be -6 if it were treated as a char, or 8 bit.  The definition of
short can confuse matters too, as I have seen it applied a few ways.
