APRS-IS passcode generator WORKS!

I am trying to translate the APRS-IS passcode c code in to the basic stamp, so I can learn. They use signed variables with XOR the callsign to create the passcode. The code for this has been out for ten plus years. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.radio.aprs/8417 However my passcode generated from my callsign does not match the correct passcode. Should I figure out how to do ^/ instead of just ^? When I try that it doesn't allow me to do that. I figure the BS2 should be able to do this I think. Part of the problem is I am not familiar with C.

Update: I added debug to the hash loop. the loop only runs twice, processing four of five characters. So off to redo loop.
Solved. I used select case to clean up the input, and uppercase the letters if needed. I then changed to a do loop. It works! I also tested against online generator for six and four character call signs. There is no checking to see if the callsign is valid.
