True, but there are things for which large integers would be useful, regardless of whether you edit large files. It seems sort of wasteful to have the 64-bit ability in the hardware and OS, and XEmacs being unable to use it. Not that I'm trying to pressurize you into anything -- if you think it's a waste of time, it's likely that someone else will do it. I was just curious about the motives for not trying it. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!!
