Overflow bit?
PBP has a bunch of system variables, does it have any that I can test for overflow? In other words, is there NO way I can find out if the result of an addition or multiplication led to a variable overflow? Must I do the math in assembly to get that information?

Hi, Charles
IF the result of an addition or multiplication is smaller than one of its terms ... there was an overflow !!!
an so on ...

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

Euh... lower than the Higher term is probably better IMHO Asumming 1*10, 10*10000, etc

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

Makes me wonder why I didn't think of this before!

Actually, I wonder why the authors of PBP didn't think of this in the first place, and set a readable flag that would indicate an overflow/underflow condition.
