Hi,

I've been away for a while and am now getting back into programming again. I've been putting together my OS again and was trying to make a boot loader for a CD-ROM and was working on the checksum word type. I get an error with this:

Code:

dw ("Sm" + "id" + "dy")

Error: value out of range.

However, not with this:

Code:

dw ("Sm" + "id")

I assume it is wrapping out of bounds. How can I add up a group of words on compile such that I only get the resultant word value?
