you'll probably have to build your own representation for a 16 bit
integer, along with function to handle 16 bit math. Best way is probably
a class

class int16
{
function int16($newint16)//a string
{

}

function addint16($otherint16)//another int16 object
{

}
//etc..
}

I'm sure if you look online you'll find details on how to implement math
on ints larger than your hardware can handle.
