Hi Steve,

That depends on the encoding of your numbers - but if you use plain vanilla
8-bit unsigned integers (or chars), you can't check for negative numbers,
since they don't exist. But (at least, IIRC), there's one bit in the PIC
registers which indicates whether an underflow/overflow has occured during
an add/subtract operation - so you might just check for that bit.
Or, use the parallax compiler - IIRC (and don't confuse it with AMD), it
provides compare functions.
