Thank You Mister_e, that leads me into another question:Originally Posted by mister_e
I thought microprocessors worked only in binary, logic high and logic low, so why do we use hex anyway? Is it because we have 16 bits?

If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
.
Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

Why decimal, why Hex, why Octal and why Binary... it's just different measure like Km/h Mph, Mils or mm, Yard Meter.
In the previous, it's easier to figure out the problem with Hex than Decimal. A word is indeed 16 bits (uh...). PBP don't have any LongWord or DoubleWord var, DIV32 work around that.
Bad explanation i know... It's clear in my little head, but right words won't go out

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

Hey Joe,
Have a look at Darrel's Threads using DIV32 and other 32 bit math magic. Good stuff from the Wizard.
Retrieving 32bit Multiply Result
Retrieving Div32 Remainder
32-bit Variables and DIV32, Hourmeter 99999.9

Thanks.
Iwill look at those threads too.
Joe
Edit:Those are great, I have bookmarked these pages and stashed the code samples for study.
