Since you never create any app preferences, the only value it should be is
noPreferenceFound (-1).
I get -1. (I did change your code to use the new data types, however. Why
are you still using the old headers?) Have you turned off all optimizations
so you know that you are really seeing the current value of prefVer when you
step through your code?
