Questions:

• +

• How do I work with numbers bigger than 255?! They didn't teach me that at my university!
   
  Use more than one byte.
   
• ~NOSPAM~jiri.antosspam at merret.cz asks: " I look for OR function. I have PIC16F628. Thank you for help"

  James Newton answers: Look at the math and logic section of the instruction set for AND, OR (called IOR), XOR, ADD, SUBtract, etc..
   

• ~NOSPAM~jjcspam at ingenieria.uaemex.mx, jose_juanct@yahoo.com asks: " I need code or to turn a number of floating point of 24/32 bits, to an integer number with decimals"

  James Newton answers: See: http://www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/math/radix/index.htm for base conversion routines.
