FH>> long long			comp  {now = longint, or comp}
FH>> unsigned long long		compword (now = longword}
FH>Why "Comp"? What does "Comp" mean at all? -- I really don't know,
FH>perhaps I could look it up in one of the 11 BP books... :-|
:-)
you could start BP IDE, type COMP and hit Strg-F1 ... :-)
In BP Comp is a FPU Type - it uses the FPU... (i think technically it's a  
73 Bit BCD packed integer; -> 18 (decimal) Digits + sign )
FH>However, I don't think "Comp" is reasonable name for any integer
FH>type, except for BP compatibility ("Comp" = "compatibility type" ;-).
I don't like that too...
perhapes for BP Compatibility :-)
