Hi Ross, It's been a while since I used Pascal, but I thought there was a function for getting the sign of a number - perhaps not. Well, depending on how much you want to rely on the format of the type used, you could test for zero and then, if it's not zero, test the high bit, which usually indicates the sign.
I don't know if this would be much of a speed improvement though.
