If that isn't true, OF gets set.       That works for addition, z = x + y,       but not subtraction, z = x - y.       Unless you exchange things a bit...              add: z = x + y       (z^x)&(z^y)&...              sub: z = x - y       OR, speaking in terms of addition...       sub: x = z + y       (x^z)&(x^y)&...              IOW, for the purposes of OF calculation you need to       exchange x and z in that formula of yours.              Alex              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
