Long Division (*solved*) - britlion - 03-21-2010

Code:
CLS

dim bigNum as LONG
let bigNum=25000


print "bignum=";bigNum
PRINT
print "10*bigNum=";10*bigNum
PRINT
print "bigNum/10=";bigNum/10

The LONG division code seems borked. It always returns zero.

It was a bug, yes. LONG (not ULONG) division was failing for positive divisors. *Fixed*.

And I just noticed before I upgraded that mod was not working either - but since it's the same asm that produces it, that's not too surprising.

I can report that MOD works nicely on LONG again.
