i'm sure there is some simple mistake in this, but i just cannot see it. the problem is that i'm trying to convert seconds to hours as follows - and it just doesn't seem to work.. please help.

hours = (int) ((unsigned long) (byte1 | byte2<

bytes contain the seconds value - and the result should be stored as int. simple, but just cannot get it working!

Found it probably - have to test on CPU though, but at least it now makes more sense and there shouldn't be any casting mistakes anymore.. or?

// create seconds counter contents (125000s)

byte1 = 0x48;

byte2 = 0xe8;

byte3 = 0x01;

byte4 = 0;

// should result 34h -->

i = (int) (

( (unsigned long) byte1

+ (unsigned long) byte2 * 256L

+ (unsigned long) byte3 * 65536L

+ (unsigned long) byte4 * 16777216L )

/ 3600L

);
