--- Comment #4 from LeMoyne Castle <[email protected]> ---
I will confirm that this is a true enhancement request.  LibO Basic has signed
Integer and Long types with dynamic ranges of 2^16 and 2^32.  Although the
actual ranges of Integer and Long are determined by build parameters the usual
setup maintains Integer=16bit and Long=32bit for backwards compatability.  

I also confirm that Calc does normally use double precision floating point
calculations for everything, which would not work for the purpose described in
the original report. I also note that 64bit and infinite precision integers are
available in other software.  

Basic inherited from OOo some of the internal workings for signed and unsigned
64 bit integers, including the touchy and crucial type constants.  Much of the
signed 64bit int fuctionality is already used by the existing Currency type. 
It is not only possible to add a 64bit integer type to Basic as an enhancement,
it would be one of the easier types to add to the language.
