If you find this tutorial and programs useful, you can let me know by sending an email to: tom_mcgahee at mailsnare,com. If you find a bug, it is the fault of JamesNewton at sxlist.com

Users may modify routines to fit their needs:

Add32/Subtract32/Multiply32 handle both + and -
Divide32 handles only + numbers
Divide32x handles both + and -

I have used long descriptive names for my variables and routines. I have done this to make the programs easier to understand. Once you understand how the programs work, you might want to make the variable names and program names smaller. You might also choose to eliminate the comments.

I suggest that if you plan on doing this, you make a COPY of this assembly file and make changes only to the copy.


Most material is repeated in various places. I wrote this not only as a program, but also as a tutorial. I have found that it is better to repeat certain information than to force the user to look all over the place in order to find it.

I hope that you find this information useful. I have tried to include enough comments to make the logic behind the program understandable.

These routines were all written from scratch by myself without reference to any programs written by anyone else. I refrained from including optimizations except in those cases where it would be easy to follow the logic. As such, you may find a more highly optimized 32 bit divide program, for example, but chances are you won't be able to understand how it functions.

Multiply32 & divide32 are fairly complex, so I have prefaced them with a quick explanation of the math process for those who are interested in how it is performed. In addition, divide32 also has a pseudo-code example so you can follow the logic of the program more readily.

GENERAL INFORMATION

BINARY REPRESENTATION

In the base ten number system each digit has one of ten states. These ten states are: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. The value of a base ten digit depends on it's state and its power. 10^0=1 10^1=10 10^2=100 10^3=1,000 10^4=10,000 etc. In the number 123, the 3 has a value of 310^0 which is 31=3. The 2 has a value of 210^1 which is 210=20. The 1 has a value of 110^2 which is 1100=100. The value of the entire number 123 is the sum of the parts. This gives us 100+20+3 which we call "one hundred and twenty three".

Binary numbers work in the same way. HOWEVER: Binary bits have only two states. The states are 0 and 1. This simplifies the math tremendously. The rules for addition are: 0+0=0 0+1=1 1+0=1 and 1+1=10 (note the carry). The rules for multiplication are even simpler: 00=0 01=0 10=0 11=1

Just as in base ten numbers, the value of a binary bit is a function of it's state and it's power. The powers of two are: 2^0=1 2^1=2 2^2=4 2^3=8 2^4=16 2^5=32 2^6=64 2^7=128 (and 2^8=256, etc.) If a bit is 0, then it's VALUE is also 0, regardless of its power. If a bit is a 1, then it's VALUE is equal to it's power. To determine the value of a binary number, add up the values of all it's parts. For example, 00000101 is 4+1=5

In binary, 1111 is 8+4+2+1=15. Since a 4 bit binary number can have 16 possible states (0,1,2,....,14,15), these groupings of four bits are referred to as hexadecimal numbers, or hex digits. Since our "usual" counting numerals are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 hex numerals build on this and become: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F. Thus A=10 B=11 C=12 D=13 E=14 F=15. At first, hex notation may seem a little strange, but it is a very useful form of notation.

The basic binary "word" length is 8 bits. We call 8 bits a byte. 4 bits is half of a byte. Because the words "byte" and "bite" sound the same, engineers began to playfully call 4 bits a "nibble", and the name has stuck. 4 bits is a nibble. Two nibbles make up a byte. Hex bytes consist of two hex nibbles, and so take on the form XX such as 2B, which is 216+11=43

To avoid confusion, we use base specifiers when dealing with numbers. Let's look at how the base ten number 266 might be shown:

The sum is 256+10=266

By the way, assemblers allow several variations on how the radix can be specified. Note also that leading zeros can be left out. Hex notation allows both upper and lower case for A thru F.

Here are the radix notations available for numbers:

Although most assemblers allow you to choose a default radix, it is usually best to always specify the radix using one of the above notations. A specified radix will always over-ride the selected default radix.

To specify a negative number in any radix, specify 0-number. For example, 0-d'266' would yield -266. (Since 0 is the same in any radix, you do not have to specify it's radix explicitly.)

Long strings of binary digits become difficult to read. In base ten we use commas every 3 places to the left of the decimal point to help us deal with large numbers like 23,452,751. Binary numbers are sometimes broken up into sets of 8 bits, called bytes.

In binary we do not use commas, and MPASM does not allow spaces within numbers. However, when working with binary on PAPER, I have always found it useful to break large binary numbers into bytes and separate them with a space. I also separate hex numbers with a space between each byte. I find that this makes it easier to work with. For example, the 32 bit binary number 01110010100110010101001110101011 looks very intimidating, whereas 01110010 10011001 01010011 10101011 is a bit easier to handle, and 72 99 53 AB (which is the same binary number written in hex) seems almost friendly by comparison.

UNSIGNED REPRESENTATION and SIGNED TWOS COMPLEMENT REPRESENTATION:

32 bits can be used to represent a value up to 4,294,967,295. That is (256256256256)-1 In this case only positive values can be represented. That is just fine in the case of addition and multiplication, but cannot work if you also want to use negative numbers.

Note that subtraction and division involve the use of negative numbers, so to perform THESE operations you HAVE to have a way of representing negative numbers.

SIGNED BINARY TWOS COMPLEMENT REPRESENTATION

A binary number can be converted into it's negative form by first complementing the number (make all 1's 0's, and all 0's 1's) and then adding 1 to the result. Complementing it puts it into what is called "one's complement notation". After you add one to THAT, you have what is called "two's complement notation".

One of the features of two's complement notation is that the MSB (Most Significant Bit) of a negative number is ALWAYS 1. In the case of a 32 bit representation, that means 1 bit is allocated to sign duty, and the other 31 bits can hold value information. That is why we have to restrict the input and output VALUE of our numbers to 31 bits in a 32 bit system.

Please note that the MSB being 1 is NOT the same thing as the MSB being a negative sign.

Take the number 2 in 32 bit binary. It would be represented as:
     00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010. When we complement it we get
     11111111 11111111 11111111 11111101 adding 1 to this we get
     11111111 11111111 11111111 11111110 which represents -2.

     00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010 if we add 2
     11111111 11111111 11111111 11111110 and -2, we get
     -----------------------------------
(1)00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 The (1) represents a carry out from the MSB (Most Significant Bit). Note that the value of the result (ignoring the carry) is 0. 2-2=0.

To represent negative numbers in a 32 bit system we use twos complement notation where a negative number will always have a 1 at the MSB position. You will hopefully have noticed that in twos complement notation we can perform subtraction through the addition of negative numbers. Twos complement notation allows both positive and negative numbers to be represented and mathematically manipulated. Twos complement notation is sometimes referred to as twos complement representation, or signed binary.

With SIGNED binary, 32 bits can represent +/- 2,147,483,647

You might be wondering why I didn't say +/- 2,147,483,648. It turns out that 2,147,483,648 and -2,147,483,648 in a 32 bit representation end up having the same representation. For this reason this value is disallowed in 32 bit representation.

Let's look at why this is so. Convert to signed binary form:
10000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 is complemented to become
01111111 11111111 11111111 11111111. Add 1 to this and you get
10000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 which is exactly the same as the original.

An easy way to help you remember what the disallowed value is in any binary system is to make only the MSB a 1. For example, in a 24 bit binary system the disallowed value will be 10000000 0000000 0000000. In a 16 bit system the disallowed value will be 10000000 00000000. In an 8 bit system the disallowed value will be 10000000.

By the way, if you use the two's complement method to find the negative of 0 you get 0. But here there is no problem, because 0 - 0 = 0 so the result is always correct. Another way to look at this is to realize that 0 is neither positive nor negative. Cool!

The really nice thing about two's complement notation is that when you add numbers in this notation you always get the right answer. Add 123 and -125 and you get -2. In binary we perform subtraction through the addition of negative numbers. It works beautifully.

All 32 bits can be used for addition and multiplication (only) if the user chooses to interpret ALL numbers as positive.

Obviously, subtraction REQUIRES twos complement notation to allow negative numbers to be used. Subtraction is restricted to handling 31 bits of input and output for positive values when the total bit length is 32 bits.

Division involves a subtraction process, so intermediate results at certain stages may go negative. This means that numerators, multipliers, and quotients are restricted to a 31 bit maximum length, and may ONLY be positive.

It is the 31 bit restriction to allow subtraction that dictates the use of only POSITIVE input and output values for the divide32 routine.

32 bit binary values are used in sets that each contain 4 bytes. MSB is leftmost bit of <set>_4, and LSB is rightmost bit of <set>_1.

For example: <accumulator> is the general specifier for a particular 32 bit set that is comprised of 4 bytes named accumulator_4 accumulator_3 accumulator_2 accumulator_1

Bits within a byte are specified with a comma and a value from 0 to 7. For example, "accumulator_1,0" would specify the LSB.

It is easy to decode the value of a binary number. Each bit represents a power value. Just add up all the power values where there is a 1. For example, in the byte 01101001 we get 1 + 8 + 32 + 64 = 105

MULTIPLICATION:

Multiplication is actually a set of repeated additions. In school you were probably taught to multiply the operand (the top number) by the multiplier (the bottom number) starting with the rightmost digit of the multiplier. Then underneath that result line you wrote down a place holding zero and then multiplied the operand by the second digit of the multiplier. For the third digit of the multiplier you put down two place holding zeros and then multiplied the third digit times the operand. You repeated this process for each digit in the multiplier. When done, you added up all the result lines to obtain the final answer.

When multiplying in binary we make a few simplifications. First, the only digits involved are 0 and 1. So, the ONLY possible combinations are: 0*0=0 0*1=0 1*0=0 1*1=1 which is all very simple stuff.

Assume that the first digit is the multiplier digit. You will notice that whenever the multiplier is 0 the result is 0. Further, whenever the multiplier is 1 the result is the same as the operand. SUPER Simple stuff.

Instead of shifting the result, we can shift the operand. It has the same effect, but simplifies things for us. So, when multiplying we first shift the operand left once (EXCEPT on the FIRST multiply bit!), then, IF the multiplier bit is "1", we ADD the current operand to the accumulator. (It is called the accumulator because it accumulates the result). By doing the addition immediately we simplify the addition of the multiple lines that would normally pile up (especially with 32 bit numbers!)

If the current multiplier bit was a zero we skip the addition part, because 0 * anything = 0.

Once we have done this process for each multiplier bit, we will have the product (<multiplier> * <operand>) in the accumulator.

Note that the largest product you are allowed to generate is 31 bits wide. A product's bit width is equal to the sum of the multiplier bit width and the operand bit width. If you multiplied a 20 bit multiplier times a 15 bit operand you would get a 35 bit product which would NOT fit in the alloted 32 bits! By the way, the 31 bit limitation is so we can process negative numbers as well as positive numbers. If you are only dealing with positive numbers, then you can handle full 32 bit numbers.

DIVISION:

Because of the relative complexity of the divide32 routine I am first going to run through the basic division algorithm in simple English. Then I will present the actual code I devised to implement the division algorithm.

Division is actually a set of repeated subtractions. The denominator is subtracted from the numerator. The process can be speeded up considerably if we begin by subtracting the BIGGEST binary multiple of the denominator possible, and then continue attempting to subtract the next biggest binary multiple possible. We repeat these actions until the numerator is smaller than the denominator. What is left is the remainder.

In binary math a number can be divided by two simply by shifting it to the right once. It can be multiplied by two simply by shifting it to the left once.

The division algorithm that I came up with begins by clearing all error flags and clearing the quotient to zero. I then check for certain special entry conditions such as entry of negative values or values that are 32 bits instead of 31 bit maximum length. I also check for division by zero, which is not allowed. If I find division by 1, I short circuit the process to speed things up. On any error I set a error flags and return with quotient holding zero value.

If there were no input error conditions then we proceed. Denominator is made negative (so it can be used to perform subtractions)

I then enter a scanloop that shifts the entire denominator left one bit at a time. scancounter keeps track of how many shifts were necessary to bring the most significant "0" to bit position 31.

Upon exit from scanloop, scancounter contains the number of passes that were made through scanloop..

A subtractloop is now entered. At the top of the loop a copy of the current numerator is saved in case we subtract when we shouldn't. I add the negated form denominator to the numerator (which is actually a subtraction). If result in numerator goes negative I recover the copy (that undoes the subtraction). If subtraction was successful then a "1" is placed at scancounter bit of quotient. That is how we generate the quotient bit-by-bit. I mentioned the phrase "is placed at scancounter bit of quotient." I use the fsr to indirectly address the proper byte of the 4 byte (32 bit) quotient. The scancounter is used to generate a COMPUTED GOTO via a jump table to process the proper byte/bit combination of the quotient. Each iteration of the loop I shift the denominator to the right and update the scancounter so we "move" to the next "bit" to be processed. When scancounter rolls over to 0xff we are all done. (rolling over here means zero is decremented and the byte value becomed b'11111111' or hex 0xff).

MAXIMUM INPUT VALUE:

Maximum twos complement input value to any math function is therefore limited to +/- 2,147,483,647 This is 31 bits for positive numbers. BE CAREFUL! The REAL limit is a function of the RESULT! For example, 2,147,483,647 + 3 would violate max RESULT! In this example the result would APPEAR to be negative!

Note that the math32 routines will not catch that kind of error, because they do not know whether you are treating the result as a positive or negative number. If treating it as a positive number, the answer would be correct. If treating the answer as a negative number, the answer would be incorrect.

!!! In the case of add32 and multiply32, you may raise the bit limit to 32 if you are interpreting ALL numbers as positive. Make sure RESULT does not exceed 32 bit size limit! Maximum value in this case is raised to 4,294,967,295

MAXIMUM RESULT:

MAXIMUM result of any operation is limited to +/- 2,147,483,647.

!!! In the case of add32 and multiply32, you may raise the bit limit to 32 if you are interpreting ALL numbers as positive. Make sure ANSWER does not exceed 32 bit size limit! Maximum answer is then raised to 4,294,967,295

For multiplication, the SUM of the BITS must be less than 32. For example, a 16 bit number times a 15 bit number will yield a 31 bit result. This is OK. But a 16 bit number times a 16 bit number yields a 32 bit result that would have lost any sign information. This is OK if you are working only with positive numbers, but is disastrous if working with negative numbers!

When I refer to a number as being a 15 bit number, I mean that from the LSB to the left-most "1" there are 15 bits. Example:
10000000 00000000  is a 16 bit number in 16 bit field.
01000000 00000000  is a 15 bit number in 16 bit field.
00000000 00000101  is a 3 bit number in 16 bit field.
00000000 00000001  is a 1 bit number in 16 bit field.

Bits within a byte are given bit identifiers where 0 is the LSB, and 7 is the MSB. For example: in the byte accumulator_1 containing 00001000, the "1" bit is accumulator_1,3.

Shown visually:
76543210  are the bit identifiers
00001000  is the accumulator_1 contents.
       ^     the "1" bit is at position "3"

32 BIT OVERFLOW and ERROR FLAGS:

Certain attempted operations will exceed the 32 bits!

OVERFLOW is detected by the add32 routine, and returned in _mflag_overflow. Since add32 is called by subtract32/multiply32, these will also pass along (and possibly act upon) _mflag_overflow.

Upon entry, multiply32 and divide32 both clear ALL math error flags by clearing the mflag register.

!!! Direct calls by the user to add32 and subtract32 require the user to CLEAR at least _mflag_overflow before calling the routines IF they want to make use of _mflag_overflow to report an overflow condition.

!!!Divide32 ALWAYS returns _mflag_overflow cleared, since it specifically restricts input values to 31 bit positive values. Thus overflow is logically impossible. Divide32 provides some additional error checking.

OVERFLOW IN GENERAL:

!!! User calls to add32 and subtract32 must clear the _mflag_overflow before calling the routines if they wish to make use of this feature.

_mflag_overflow reports: OVERFLOW from any 32 bit operation. this includes add32/subtract32/multiply32

BE AWARE of the fact that adding two unsigned 32 bit numbers can generate a 33 bit result, which CANNOT be contained in a 32 bit number. Overflow will result and be flagged.

BE AWARE that adding two 31 bit negative numbers can result in a 32 bit negative result that then LOOKS like a positive number because the sign bit got shifted out into the carry and got lost! Overflow will result and be flagged.

BE AWARE that multiplying two 32 bit unsigned numbers could result in a 64 bit answer! Overflow will result and be flagged. Carry from the 32nd bit will cause an overflow, and the program will report the error via _mflag_overflow! It is YOUR responsibility to check this flag after add32/subtract32/multiply32

BE AWARE that multiplying two 32 bit signed numbers can result in a 33rd bit overlow, and the remaining 32 bit result is not what you think it is! _mflag_overflow will report the error.

SPECIAL ERROR REPORTING FOR CALLS TO DIVIDE32/DIVIDE32X:

divide32 will never return _mflag_overflow set to 1, so you can ignore it completely.

_mflag_derror reports: ANY fatal error in divide32. (_dneg and _dzero). Test this flag first.

_mflag_dneg reports: Attempt to use negative numbers in divide32. It will flag this for <numerator> and <denominator>. (NOT used in divide32x)

_mflag_dzero reports: Attempt to divide by 0 in divide32.

These flags are automatically cleared upon entry to divide32. The user does not have to clear them.

BE AWARE that divide32 allows only POSITIVE values, and their size cannot exceed 31 bits. This is the bad news. The good news is that the answer is then forced to be 31 bits or less and cannot cause an overflow error.

QUICK LOOK AT MATH FUNCTIONS

In general, answers are limited to +/- 2,147,483,647. In this implementation, only the divide32 routine is restricted to the use of POSITIVE numbers. All else may freely use a mix of positive and negative numbers

Number notation is twos complement for negative numbers. This restricts positive numbers in general to 31 bits so we can allow 31 bit positive numbers to be negated to 32 bit wide twos complement form.

 add32
 Addition:	<accumulator> = <accumulator> + <operand>

 neg32
 Negation:	<operand> = negative of <operand>
Negating a negative number makes it positive. (uses twos complement notation)
 subtract32
 Subtraction:	<accumulator> = <accumulator> - <operand>

 multiply32
 Multiplication: <accumulator> = <multiplier>  <operand>
Upon entry the <accumulator> is cleared. (See multiply32plus for multiply that does NOT clear the <accumulator>).

NOTE that SUM of input BITS (+ form) must be LESS than 32. For example, a 22 bit positive number times an 11 bit positive number will yield a 33 bit positive result. Overflow flag will be set.

 multiply32plus
 Multiplication with Addition:
 <accumulator> = <accumulator1> + (<multiplier2>  <operand2>)
This is included as an added convenience to the basic math routines. Requires no additional code.
 divide32
 Division:	<quotient> = <numerator> / <denominator>
(remainder is returned in numerator> In this implementation, input values are RESTRICTED to only POSITIVE numbers. Max positive size of input(s) is 31 bits. Max positive result is 31 bit number 2,147,483,647
 divide32x
 Division:	<quotient> = <numerator> / <denominator>
(remainder is returned in numerator> In this implementation, input values are within the range +/- 2,147,483,647. Result has range +/- 2,147,483,647. The tradeoff is that there is some additional overhead. Divide32x determines the correct output polarity, converts inputs to positive only values, calls divide32, and then converts the <quotient> to a negative form if the previously determined polarity demands a negative output value. (The only possible error is attempted division by zero.)

Any remarks made about multiply32 apply also to multiply32plus. The only difference is that multiply32 begins by clearing the <accumulator>, but multiply32plus keeps the current <accumulator> contents and adds into the existing contents.

And so on to the actual code:

;		(32 bits) if using unsigned binary numbers.

;		Note that the sum of the bits in multiplier and operand
;		must be 31 or less when using signed math, and 32 or
;		less when using unsigned math. For example,

;		would require a 38 bit register set. Since our register

;I have included an alternate entry point to the multiply32
;function that does NOT clear the prior contents of the <accumulator>

;For example:
;<accumulator2> = (<operand1>+<accumulator1>) * <multiplier2>
;We get this "extra" function for free, by simply skipping the first
;part of multiply32 that clears <accumulator>.

;Note that you can also do a multiply32 or multiply32plus and FOLLOW

;-----------------------------------------------------------
;-----------------------------------------------------------

;NAME:		divide32

;FUNCTION:	<quotient> = <numerator> / <denominator>
		;divide32 ONLY handles POSITIVE 31 bit values!

;ENTER WITH:	<numerator> and  <denominator> loaded.
;		BOTH must be POSITIVE. 31 bit max (MSB must be 0)
;		!!!(see divide32x for version that
;		handles +/- numbers)

;RETURNS:	<quotient> = <numerator> / <denominator>
;		remainder is in <remainder>
;		(remainder> is alias for <numerator>)
;		(See ERROR REPORTING for results when an
;		error occurred)
;
;LIMITATIONS:
;		Largest input or result value is +2,147,483,647.
		;They MUST be positive!
		;!!!(see divide32x for extension to divide32
		;that allows negative numbers)
;
;		Since routine uses a form of subtraction,
;		numbers are limited to 31 bits maximum.

;ERROR REPORTING:
;		!!! you can ignore _mflag_overflow! It is never
;		set by divide32. _mflag_derror flags ALL div errors.
;		(Test this flag first). _mflag_dneg is set if negative
;		<numerator> or <denominator> entered._mflag_dzero is
;		set if <denominator> was 0 on entry. On any
;		_mflag_derror, <quotient> returns as 0.

;		On an error, input values MAY be changed.
;		ALWAYS check the _mflag_derror flag. If it is set,
;		then you can check _mflag_dneg and _mflag_dzero to
;		determine the exact kind of error detected.
;

;CHANGED:	<quotient> contains answer.
;		<numerator> contains remainder
;		(numerator is aliased as <remainder> for convenience)
;		mflag bits may have been changed to reflect
;		errors encountered.
;
;TRASHED:	<operand>/<denominator>/<goback>

;ALIASES:	Aliases are used to make routine easier to follow.
;		<denominator> is alias for <operand>
;		<numerator> is alias for <accumulator>
;		<remainder> is also alias for <numerator>/<accumulator>
;		AFTER division.

;CALLS:		add32/lshift32/neg32

		;The MAX number of cycles to do a complete
		;division in divide32 is about 2,800 cycles.
		;With a 20 Mhz clock this is 560 microseconds.

		;Minimum divide time is about 78 cycles due
		;to short-circuit evaluation of division
		;by 1 (which would otherwise have taken more
		;that 5,000 cycles!)

		;The larger the denominator, the shorter
		;the time it takes to determine the <quotient>.

;BEGIN DIVIDE32X DIVIDE32X DIVIDE32X DIVIDE32X DIVIDE32X


;DIVIDE32X:
;This is a routine that allows the use of 31 bit NEGATIVE numbers
;as input and output to the divide32 routine (as well as positive
;31 bit numbers, of course). (31 value bits, 1 sign bit,
;twos complement form).
;
;It first determines what the sign of the quotient should be,
;based on the signs of the <numerator> and <denominator>.
;
;Then it converts any negative inputs to a 31 bit positive
;form. Then it calls the regular divide32 program that only
;handles positive 31 bit numbers, and determines the
;positive-value <quotient>. Then if the <quotient> needs to
;be negative, it replaces <quotient> with the negative of
;the <quotient>. The remainder is returned in <remainder>.
;<remainder> is ALWAYS returned as a positive number.


;If you are absolutely sure that you are using only positive
;<numerator> and <denominator> values, then divide32 is a
;better routine to use. THIS routine has an additional overhead
;associated with it that divide32 does not have.
;This makes divide32 faster.


;In fact, if you ALWAYS deal with division of positive
;numbers, then you can leave this divide32x program out
;entirely and save the code space.

;-----------------------------------------------------------------

;NAME:		divide32x

;FUNCTION:	<quotient> = <numerator> / <denominator>
		;it allows both positive and NEGATIVE input and output!

;ENTER WITH:	<numerator> and  <denominator> loaded.
;		Both must be 32 bit signed numbers
		;(MSB handles sign, which limits VALUE to 31 bits)

;RETURNS:	<quotient> = <numerator> / <denominator>
		;<quotient> is negative when signs require it to be so.
;		remainder is in <remainder> (alias for <numerator>)
		;<remainder> is always in positive form
;		(See ERROR REPORTING for more info)
;
;LIMITATIONS:
;		Largest input or result value is +/- 2,147,483,647.
;
;		Since routine uses a form of subtraction, numbers
;		are limited to 31 bits maximum plus sign bit.

;ERROR REPORTING:
;		!!! you can ignore _mflag_overflow! It is never
;		set by divide32. _mflag_derror is set if ANY error
;		occured. (Test this flag first).
;		_mflag_dzero is set if <denominator> was 0 on entry.
;
;		On any _mflag_derror, <quotient> returns as 0.
;		On an error, input values MAY be changed.
;		You can check the _mflag_derror flag -or- _mflag_dzero
;		to determine if there was a divide by zero error.
;
;		No other types of error are possible, since this routine
;		specifically allows 32 bit SIGNED binary +/- numbers.
;		It is up to the user to enforce entry of numbers in 32
;		bit twos complement notation.
