Keeping mind that such IDs are likely 16 bit, why not keep them to 15 bit to avoid what bit 16 does?

How can I set Restorator to display Menu IDs in positive numbers?
Instead of:
MENUITEM "E&xit", -7871
Display:
MENUITEM "E&xit", 57665
Thank you.

Thanks for replying. I really appreciate it.
I just want to localize a program, and unfortunately I don't really know the difference between '15 bit' and '16 bit'.
Anyway, in most programs Restorator displays negative numbers which don't fit the language file's IDs.
Resource Hacker always shows positive numbers.
Here's a note about the 16 bit.

Thanks again.
Interesting and enlightening.
Converting each value is unpractical in my case. If you are familiar with Restorator, is there a way to change its display settings?
I write the apps, I would never need this tool. So back to them to ask how.
