you are right, but i still get NO warninig. I've tried:

====== xx1.cpp=======
typedef char BYTE;
typedef unsigned char BYTE;
=====================

and compiled with 
icc -Wall -W3 -c xx1.cpp

Notes:

1) OF Course you get a warning if you use .C Code !!!. But your code uses
iostream.h and cout<<"..."; so it MUST BE C++ code. and
this is NO problem in C++.

2.) The headers in toolkt21\c\os2h contains equal definitions!!!
 Directory of I:\toolkt21\cplus\os2h
 3.05.93   7.59       3201           0  exe.h      BYTE=u-char
 3.05.93   8.07      15710           0  os2def.h   BYTE=char
 Directory of I:\toolkt21\c\os2h
12.03.93  18.00       3194           0  exe.h      BYTE=u-char
22.03.93  17.24      15720           0  os2def.h   BYTE=u-char

interesting, isn't it.

The differences between these files:

a) both files contain different intro/exit sequences (#prama info vs.
#pragma checkout()).
No other diff in exe.h
in os2def.h : all char declarations (PSZ, BYTE,...) are unsigned (!!!) in
c\os2h vs. signed in CPLUS\os2h. 

BTW: There's a bug in \c\os2h\os2def.h:

#ifdef _cplusplus.
this is wrong. it must be __cplusplus.

This problem is documented in the C++ 2.0 install for the cplus\os2h file.
Where it is fixed in the meantime. 
Mario
