Yes, of course. I was confused because "?3413156131^2" did work. >> I need really big numbers... > > Find a volunteer to implement a Gambas component based on a library that can > manage big integers, like that one: http://gmplib.org/ Seems not to work with 64bit machines yet... I think this would be quite easy to use as external library, but of course component would be much better option. Right now I think I will look at bc. It is default command in many Linux distributions. Something like this; 'echo "3413156131 * 3413156131;" | bc' combined with Gambas shell command.
