Hi all, For reasons I won't go into here, I do not use the bit64 package, instead opting to use int64. When I load something that is a long numeric ID (i.e. something I actually want as a character not an integer), fread loads this as a 64-bit integer using the bit64 encoding. This makes it impossible to convert those to characters without having the bit64 package loaded.
Would it be possible to either support int64 as well, or if not an option to convert it to character when it would decide that 64-bit ints are necessary? Thanks, Chris
