Yeah, I know, that is the calculator I used to do the long
arithmetic, and then to check my results before posting them.<g>
I just happen to be studying Assembly Language (the Jeff
Duntemann book), and am therefore having to do a LOT of long
calculations anyhow, to sort of 'jump start' my thinking in Hex.
I also have a manual scientific calculator that does the same
things. I have to admit, it is a little bit of a rush to do the
long calculations, knowing full well the possibilities for error,
just in punching so many numbers, and then to let the calculator
show me the right answer... when I saw those two end zeros, I
didn't even have to look at the rest!
