Summary: [any2string] converts non-ascii chars to negative values

Initial Comment:
belongs to: moocow/pdstring/any2string

non-ascii characters (such as the umlaute 'äöü') are converted to negative values.

instead of i, [any2string] converts to  i-256, thus the negative values.

[string2any], OTOH, does seem to work correctly. '246' is converted to 'ö'.
