In a message dated 98-01-16 23:47:44 EST, you write:

> But how would you access it. I.E. to inc or dec it???

OK, lets assume you want 100000, which needs 3 bytes of info
You have to write a pretty complicated routine (considering the task it should
do) that dec's the lsb (least significant byte) and checks if it's < 0, if so
then dec the second, check if < 0, etc...
then to do a subtraction (i.e. dec by more than 1) it becomes harder!
Especially if the number to sub is more than 16 bits!  I won't even try to
explain it because I can't imagine it!  The easiest alternative to this would
be to make a loop to dec the number a certain number of times.
Hope this helped at least a little bit,
