[ale] BF_ecb_encrypt

[joe at madewell.com (Joe Steele)]

The function prototype says it works with unsigned char data:

   void BF_ecb_encrypt(const unsigned char *in, unsigned char *out, 
      BF_KEY *key, int enc);

If you are seeing negative numbers, then the likely reason is because 
you have converted or displayed the unsigned char data as signed char 
data and the high-order bit is being interpreted as a sign bit.

Is it possible for BC_ecb_encrypt() to generate signed integers?  I'm doing
some test on one-way encryption and Im getting - numbers in some spots.  I
want to make sure this is normal.
