no problem. haven't been upstairs yet to acknowledge, sorry.

it seemed logical at the time! but if not needed that's great, one less
instruction and it entirely frees up the right half of EXT04 space.

nggggh ok makes sense.
mul... mul... arg yes of course, RC is used as the 64-bit carry on the

subfe.
so of course no mul-subtract.
rright, some hatchet-jobs and writeup to do...
