char is signed, so that the max value is 127 (the min value is -128) --
unsigned char would be a bit better description for "byte". But anyway, I'd
rather use a union so that the compiler do not have to figure out how to
optimise the code to pick up low and high values. I am not familiar with C
in PIC environment, but there may be some macros that can do this trick.
