tfm: binary and/or/xor

[Ron Aaron]

I need to be able to do binary and/or/xor on tfm numbers, and if they are positive everything's fine.  

However, when I do them on negative numbers I don't get the same results as I would with plain integers, since tfm doesn't use 2's complement math.  How can I get the expected results?

Thanks!

Glad I'm not the only one :)

That was mainly meant as a pointer to a (temporary) solution of your
problem :-)

Yes, well I forgot to thank you for that pointer!  The fixes are in our new version of 8th.  I did notice that the "fp_or" etc words, at least as I saw them, did not perform the binary op on the 'high bytes', e.g. the "excess" ones.  So I fixed that in my version of them (since I use tfm, I had to port them anyway).
