Andy,

I think that I already posted this info to this thread already. But just
in case I posted a dividing mini-tutorial to the list last year. Talks
about both divide by substraction and divide with shifting. And it has
examples of both. You can find it in the archives here (PASSWORDED SITE!!!
user and password are both 'piclist'):

I hope this saves you a couple of minutes Andy...
