Nope your right, brain fart.

All Java ints are signed.

So to do an unsigned, you need to go to a bigger type.

If its already a 32 bit number, I guess youll need to read it as bytes
and assemble it as
a BigInt.  Or give uup on the high bit if your sure the numerbs never
really get that high.
Thats what I did for my NWN data loader, just truncated the unsigned to
31 bits.

Journalism 101: The difference between news and a press release

News tells you what the reporter thinks is true.

A press release tells you what a company wants *you* to think is true.

Only bad reporters think the two are the same.
