Integer Division

I looked in the C manual expecting to find the following caveat:

	" The % operator is whatever is left in the `remainder'
	register by the particular divide instruxion used on
	the host computer"

It was not there. As a working definition, consider it said.
I too prefer the positive remainder definition. However, as
Walter Cronkite would say, "And that's the way it is".
Programming around that fact can be done trivially & portably.

	Nuff Said,
