RE: Twos Complement
Note that two's complement conventionally needs a particular finite word width: -5 is hex FB only for an 8 bit word. Otherwise, it might be FFFFFFFB, or FFFB, or even B, among many other possibilities. (The same is true for one's complement.)

Possibly the question is how to set the word width for binary or decimal numbers on the Prime... and I don't know the answer to that one.
