look for a web page about z80 coding

If you want to have a "readable" idea about these math operations (ADD, SUB, MUL), check my BigInt implementation library. It supports 8, 16, 24, 32, 64 to infinite bits operation.

@popolony2k Really brilliant, and can be translated into MSX-C Wink

Yes. In fact it will be more optimized if translated to MSX-C because the pointer deference method used in this Turbo Pascal code is not optimized (because the pointer operations are not optmized in this TP version), but I realized a way to turn pointer operations in this TP version to be so optimized as C languages. Soon I'll optimize this TP code and it will be a little bit faster.

There are a lot of unit tests around this implementation and it has been used in MSXDUMP disk editor for 24bit pointer operations used by Sunrise IDE low level functions.
