well, I don't know much about emc's implementation, but isn't the division of two negative numbers suposed to give a positive result?.
Neither know much about iso definition of MOD, but it makes sense to think of it both ways, as the integer part of a division or as the answer to 'how many times does this fit into that'?, so allowing negative numbers seems optional. Anyway, make a few tests with all the possible alternatives and take that knowledge to your coding. Not of much help, I know, but I'm feeling communicative... Arturo Mieussens.
