Well, as I stated in a message to George Emery, the problem is not only the shifting, but also the possiblity of overflow. Furthermore, putting all my routines in a single fixed point module enable me to play a bit with different representations of fixed point numbers. This enables me to get optimum range and accuracy in my particular program. (I hope.
