Is it safe to use SysLongTempX?

[Jim giordano]

SysLongTempX is not documented in the help, but by scrounging around I found I could use it.
SysCalcTempX doesn't return a long remainder.

I tested it with-

dim xin,rem1,rem2 as long
dim res
xin=4294967295

res=xin/1000000000
rem1=SysCalcTempX
rem2=SysLongTempX
locate 0,0
print xin
locate 1,0
print res
locate 2,0
print "CalcX=":print rem1
locate 3,0
print "LongX=":print rem2

Which returned
4294967295
4
CalcX=255
LongX=294967295

So it looks like SysCalcTempX is type byte.

SysLongTempX is returning the correct answer for the remainder, but since it isn't documented, I fear future changes in the compiler might cause a problem.

It is safe. Not going to be changing this.

SysCalcTempX is documented see 'Setting Variables' in the Help.

I am not sure about SysLongTempX, if you have tested and you think it is valid - it is safe. We would be changing that.
