   One would think that the compiler would be smart enough to output code   
   appropriate for the size of the  destination  -- I guess not!  I'm   
   quite surprised I haven't encountered this before, and I've been   
   writing programs with TP7 on and off for 20 years.   
      
   I quickly tested casting one of the operands to longint() and that   
   worked, thanks for the suggestion.
