Arjen,

Well, I don't speak Dutch...but the concept is simple.

"Signed" simply means that the number is represented with a bit set aside
for the sign (positive or negative). For example:

34, -32,767 are signed numbers.
65000, 64000 are unsigned numbers (you couldn't represent these with signed
numbers).

Its kinda hard w/o going into some huge explanation of binary notation.
:)...

James.
