Hmm. Can we go a bit further, and say that if you don't have 128-bit ints, then you can use pr_perm but only to a maximum of 32-bit ints? Then you can do the calculations in 64-bit ints. That's much less bad than desupporting the feature altogether. -- Álvaro Herrera 39°49'30"S 73°17'W "No necesitamos banderas No reconocemos fronteras" (Jorge González)
