Hi all. Just as a quick aside, I hate the American holidays...the list
slows down too much. I hate it when people go tend to their "real
lives".

Anyway, I have a question about scaling. Basically what I want to do is
to have a few (8-32 maybe) registers with 8 bit values in them. Then,
based on another 8 bit value I want to scale them. Basically, the second
register becomes a percentage multiplication factor. So if I have a
value of d'204' in the first register, and a value of d'128' in the
second (50%), after the operation I want a result of d'102' (half of the
original value). It can be in a second register. At first I though of
just using multiplication routines, but I can't figure how to multiply
by less than 1 (ie 0.5). I had a flash that maybe this could all be
accomplished by shifting bits, but I don't know how. Any pointers to
info would be great!

Thanks,

Josh Koffman
