[Adding] 1 to 127 using signed character [the results] are zero. Hmm? Are you sure about that, Ben? I haven't tried it, but it seems to me that the result would be -128… I *ASSUME* they use two's complement notation? Even if they use one's complement the result would be -127. I can't see any way to represent 10000000B as zero. Rick
