We should either do it correctly, or not do it at all, as far as I'm concerned. But now at least I understand what you mean, and I agree that "implementing" bignums using an external library would not be a big deal. It even might be doable in the form of a loadable module. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- "Memory is like an orgasm.
