Hi again PicForthers,

I've released a package called 'lib3' - a comprehensive set of 
arithmetic, relational, stack, constant, variable and storage operators 
for signed 24-bit (3-byte) integers.

All info and tarball on wiki page:
http://wiki.enst.fr/bin/view/Picforth/Lib3

For a brief history - 16-bit was too small for me, and I found 32 bit to 
be a real resource hog, so I settled on 24-bit as a happy medium. The 
ability to manipulate values between -8,388,608 and 8,388,607 meets most 
of my needs, so hopefully it will fit the bill for others.

-- 
Cheers
David
