You might be able to do this if you were clever about it; you might be able to define an opcode that defines a native subroutine that you can call with another opcode, say, that passes in 16- or 32-bit values in registers and expects you store (...)

The 32-bit software multiply takes two 32-bit numbers and stores their product in a 32-bit number. The operations are (...) (26 years ago, 7-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)
