I have a batch file with exit code "-3", but FFASTRANS shows it as "4294967293".

Why being so negative, Alexander? ;-)

FFAStrans ask the windows api what the exit code for the executed command was, so it's basically the api getting it "wrong". But I think the exit code in windows are represented as unsigned 32bit so that might be the reason of this behavour. Sticking to positive exit codes is probably the proper solution.
