Exponent?  In what base?  If it was a 1, then shifted left by the -c3, that 
if my kcalc is working, would be a dd.bit of 8, and nitros9 absolutely has 
no problem with that. In fact one of my 1Gb drives is all os9, with a 
dd.bit of $10.  Works fine.  I am the one who recognized the code Kevin 
Darling removed from rbf.mn in one of his Christmas patches, realized what 
it did, and put it back in when I did the original 6309ification of it.

Don't you feel more like you do now than you did when you came in?
A pen in the hand of this president is far more
dangerous than 200 million guns in the hands of
         law-abiding citizens.
