This PIR program:

.sub 'main' :main
print_as_integer('-4')
print_as_integer('X-4')
print_as_integer('--4')
.end

.sub 'print_as_integer'
.param string s
$I0 = s
print $I0
print "\n"
.end

produces this output:

-4
0
-4

I think the last line should be "0", but if anyone thinks that "-4" is
correct please say so before I report it as a bug...

Thanks.

Regards,
Roger Browne
