Yes. I just retested with the same test files I used last night.

However . . .

I just tried several different line lengths, and I *think* that Aaron is
using 15 bits + sign instead of 16 bits unsigned *because* if the value
is between 32K and 64K then the line length becomes 0 in his display
(and no characters are shown). Above 64K it apparently is modulo 64K
which makes sense since his counter is "wrapping".

I'll email him.

That's a good idea and I'll pass that along to him also.
