I wasn't precise. Of course, there's huge difference between 32-bit
unsigned numbers supported by 6502 code (nothing unusual) and 32-bit
unsigned numbers supported by 6502 assembler.
I just don't understand, why Ullrich said that assembler doesn't
distinguish between -1 and $FFFFFFFF. So, how the division operator works?
E.g. -2/-1=2 while $FFFFFFFE/$FFFFFFFF=0. I prefer a simple solution,
where all expressions are calculated by the assembler using 32-bit signed
numbers (i.e. $FFFFFFFF is not legal).

Bye,
Piotr
