Something I've run across just recently and except in a few cases I've seen 
it as the NORM ie:Your example above. Whats missing ? MINROW, MINCOL.. Reason 
I mention this is there's no way to check for a minimum ie: something goes 
kaflooey somewhere else in the program, and sends out 0 or a negative number, 
and the bug only surfaces every 1 million times the program is run...
I know why bother... If you need an example, I do have one. it's nothing more 
than a loop, but it has no error checking for a minimum, and so when it adds 
1 to 127 for a char variable, the loop starts all over again at 0. Also why 
waste 24 bits on MAXROW, MAXCOL when a char will do ?
