Hi, I´d like to know whitch is the best way to get the sign of a a-rate
variable... I thougth maybe with a conditional (but this forces kr=sr)
or with something like ((asig+abs(asig))/abs(asig))-1. It should return
1 for asig>=0 and -1 for asig<0

Thanks in advance!

My best guess is that

asign	divz	asig, abs(asig), 1

is the fastest.
