Could you elaborate a little more on your comment?

I don't quite understand what you mean...

I take my origional number between 0 & 255, lets say 100

convert it to binary 0110 0100

Choose a number to divide by ok 10,  convert to binary 0000 1010

turn it into two bytes  0110 0100
                            0000 1010

swap nibbles            0000 0100

convert back to decimal  4

I must have missed something here....





For such a simple well defined case, what about using BCD?

I haven't looked at the archives but why not take the original number, turn
it into BCD in two bytes and return the lower nibble of the upper byte and
the upper nibble of lower byte as a one byte BCD answer which is then turned
back into a normal number?

And of course a 9999 EOF marker. :-)
