Now when I test one of the 16 bit multiplication routines I found somewhere
around here, I multiply 2 by 1 and get something I consider strange

Number 1:  00000000 00000010
Number 2:  00000000 00000001

And get the output multiplied
                   00010000 00010000

So again, is this "working" as far as what I should expect in a binary
multiplication routine?  If so, what exactly does that output represent?
It's not  "2 times 1 = 2"  so I don't know what it is...

I'm afraid to try my subtraction and division routines until I learn what's
going on with this much...
