Re: Wp34s: word size lost? Message #6 Posted by Cristian Arezzini on 26 May 2011, 12:29 a.m., in response to message #5 by Marcus von Cube, Germany
I just checked 960, and it seems to do what I wanted! Thanks! :)

I checked it with my 16C. It does the same and I know why. :-)
In integer mode, the 16C reallocates the registers depending on the word size. When switching back to floating point, the size must be adjusted to at least the width of a floating point number.
Well... I didn't remember that because I only exclusively use the 16c in integer mode... But, then this is an occasion where "total 16C compatibility" isn't the best choice, in my opinion! :) Anyway, thanks for implementing this feature, and I hope it didn't break anything anywhere else!
