Ok I'm really tired, I swear I compiled that a dozen times
and got errors before.

Anyways

void Add(unsigned char * Num1, unsigned char * Num2) ;

Add(Sum, "123") ;

That doesn't work for sure.



I'm trying to figure out how to define TEXT so that
I can define the signedness and be done with it yet
when you do that you have to give up assigning
to arrays and the sizeof operator more or less.
Looks like I'll just have to use two macros.  One
for passing and another for assignment.

One feature I certainly wish the language had
was retyping variables.  The other would be
setting the literal types with pragmas or some
other such mechanism.

Thanks anyway.
