NAME
    register - set or print a custom register value

SYNOPSIS
    custom("register", regnum[, value])

TYPES
    regnum	int
    value	any, &any

    return	any

DESCRIPTION
    This custom function reads or sets a value of a custom register.
    A custom register can hold any calc value.

    Without a value arg, the register value is return.  With a value
    arg, the register is set with that value and the previous value
    is returned.

    The number of custom registers is defined at compile time.
    There will be at least 32 registers although there could be more
    added in the future.  It may be deterimed by:

		custom("sysinfo", "REGNUM_MAX")

    The custom registers are initialized to 0 by the internal
    function libcalc_call_me_first() during calc startup.

    This custom interface is intented to make it easier to interface
    with special purpose hardware.

EXAMPLE
    > custom("register", 3)
	0
    > custom("register", 3, 45)
	0
    > custom("register", 3)
	45

    > custom("register", 7, 2i),
    > custom("register", 8, 3i),
    > custom("register", 7) * custom("register", 8)
	-6

LIMITS
    calc must be built with ALLOW_CUSTOM= -DCUSTOM
    calc must be executed with a -C arg.
    The regnum numbe bee an integer >= 0 and < REGNUM_MAX where
        REGNUM_MAX is a compile time constant that is >= 32.

LIBRARY
    none
