And my code is used by Lockheed-Martin, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, British Aerospace, General Atomics, Raytheon, Rockwell-Collins, Smiths Aerospace, Fermi Labs, Lawrence Livermore Labs and others. So I need reliability as well.

If you were to bet any amount of money on the carry/borrow flag being correct after a math operation in PBP, you would lose. Because there are several instances where it ends up wrong.
Being capable of only 16-bit math, they apparently weren't worried about anyone using larger numbers and took shortcuts in the math routines to save a couple words in the compiled code. Causing me many days of headaches, because I originally thought it would have worked correctly.
Essentially it boils down to the possibility of 2 overflows in a 16-bit operation. And the PBP math routines only account for 1 of them.
Sure makes 32-bit math a pain in the asparagus.
