Cool!
Try
b := SHORT(SHORT(-b))
Same thing by the way with ORD:
shortInt := SHORT(ORD(ch))

Hi,
I was surprised to find that the
Following code does not compile:
VAR
b : BYTE;
BEGIN
b := -b
Same thing with SHORTINTs.
Is this what the Language Report requires?
Robert
(PS - I have not tried this on the Gardens Point
Compiler!)
