I Programmed in Assembly, Fortran, DbaseIV, MS Prof Basic pre-Win for many
years.
This new stuff is mind blowing. So.. I ask for your patient help.

I am using the Sam's Learning C in 24hr book that came with my new
Bc++ 5.02 compiler.   (I need to learn it from ground up.)
Reason for using old software is simple. I need to target 16bit embedded
computer.

Ch 9 Exercise 3
-------------------

#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
main()
{
int x,y;
long int z;

x=7000;
y=12000;
z=x*y;

printf("x * y == %lu\n",z);

return 0;
}
--------------------------

the above code should print 84000000.
It doen't. I got 4294950144

Any ideas???

Thank
