I've written a bug report on the absence of the docs for bigint in the D delivery several releases ago. At first I thought it was a simple oversight, but I have become suspicious...what do they know that we don't??? I know the current implementation (by Janice Caron) has some shortcomings. I thought that someone (Don?) was creating a new implementation, but I don't know if that's true or not. Paul
