Thanks for the fixes - still looking at it.

You are correct, all "bignum" packages I found needed 32 bits.

Yes I still see from my documentation that there is no "long" handled by my
compiler.

I did make a mistake on the CPU (and I really do not care what it is) - you
wanted some ref (I still do not see why) and I googled S1C88 and sent you a
link as that is the name of the compiler's directory.

The reason I first came here was to not have to write my "... own
bug-ridden ..." (how nice) ... I have plenty of other bugs to write first.

cmp is called first.
