Hi Christopher,

    Thanks. I'll add one to Ptolemy if we need to.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours

Hi Jianwu,
Sure, if you want a ByteToken, feel free to add it to the ptII tree.
Be sure that the code closely follows the coding standard.
Be sure to add unit tests.

data/UnsignedByteToken.java says:
 A token that contains a byte number in the range 0 through 255. This
 UnsignedByteToken definition is in contrast to Java's definition of a
 byte as a number in the range -128 through 127.

A ByteToken and an UnsignedByteToken are not losslessly convertible to each other.

Hi,

Kepler and Ptolemy support many types including unsignedByte. But I didn't see normal byte in Ptolemy. From the implementation of UnsignedByteToken, it looks we can use it for normal byte through its function like UnsignedByteToken(byte) and byteValue(). But I still think it is valuable to have a separate Byte type in Ptolemy. Any opinion on it? Thanks.
