Some poor programmer's head ;) Seriously, the actual implementation would be quite a lot of work. There are definite places in the backend where a 64-bit number would be a no-no, and these have to be captured somewhere. And then there is the lua_Number that is a double, so it cannot fit a full 64-bit number without precision loss, etc. Best wishes, Taco ___________________________________________________________________________= ________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to t= he Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-cont= ext webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________= ________
