output notice ac2 ac3 mb mc are still in 2's compliment form

Now according to the bmp085 altimeter secs ac1 ac2 ac3 and B1,B2,MB MC MD are in 2's compliment notation
the code for ac1 as an example casts both bytes to (int) then bit wise or's them after first shifting one to the left 8 bits.
This doesn't appear to be working with the esp8266..easy enough to rewrite but troubling nonetheless since it presumably works on other platforms.
The HMC58X3 also has 2's compliment notational issues since it is 12 bit 2's compliment notation within a 16 bit register read a byte at a time via I2C
