Easy 32bit math please

[pxgator]

It sure would be nice if easy 32bit math, at least on the X2 chips, would be created. Maybe creating
double word variables. Something like DW0,DW1,DW2, etc. Does anyone else think this would be good?

I think this is a long shot, maybe something for the PICAXE Super-X chips.

Any additions such as native 32 bit maths would need significant changes to the actual firmware in the chips, as well as new compilers and PE.

As noted by Buzby, integrated support for 32-bit integer would require significant change to the PICAXE firmware, compilers, PE6 and simulation, and likely would require an entirely new PICAXE range of devices.

For those cases where 32-bit integers would be useful it should be possible to create macros for the operations required which likely would work for all existing chips. There are some examples of doing 32-bit maths on the forum and help is likely to be available through the forum for solving specific problems.

Points well taken thanks for the replies
