> Unfortunately, yes, I need the precision for more trig math later on. Precision be damned. Who wants to have to write their own set of trig functions for fixed point? :-( You'd think that by now there would be an embedded system compiler with built-in support for fixed point math, including a nice set of library math functions. Is there? The only language I'm aware of that has explicit support for moving the fraction point around is PL/1 (and perhaps cobol, but that's a bit different...)
