Bill,
David is correct in that the maximum number you will ever see is
2,147,483,647 but the most negative you can see is -2,147,483,648 and this
will occur in normal binary arithmetic if you add 1 to 2,147,483,647. Then
adding 1 to that result would increase again until the number 2,147,483,647
was obtained repeating the previous numbers pattern over again.
I believe Phil is not correct in saying that changing the multiplier to 10
does not work. It must be the *Volume* scaling that is changed in the TS4
Symbol Universe. This would result in the maximum volume being able to go
as high as 21,474,836,270 with a minimum resolution of 10.
I do not know but I must assume that you could do the same Symbol Universe
type change in TS2K. Could someone confirm that?
~Bob
