And that is how it should be, as there is no system under Qdos/Smsqe to
accurately represent numbers larger than about +/-2^31-1. If you need larger
numbers than that you could write your own math routines, f ex using strings
and SuperBasic.

Tony Tebby suggested on this list to use the fact that maths involving
strings have their own routines under Smsqe. These could then "easily" be 
replaced with high-precision integer or fixed point math routines; an 
excellent project for a Tinkerer on a pension ;)
