Your question isn't entirely clear, but I'm going to assume you want
to know how big numbers are supported. As far as I know, it supports
any size as long as there's enough memory and the memory allocation
routines can handle the sizes required. On most 32 bit machines,
numbers that are up to 2GB large (I've no idea how many decimal digits
that would be, and I don't want to try to calculate it. It's about
2^32 hexadecimal digits) would be supported. However, with such a big
number, you'd probably not be able to do anything, as it would fill
all useful memory :-).
