A lot of BCB 6 users don't realise that it DOES have 64 bit integer support
as 'extended integer types' -
ie "__int64" and "unsigned __int64". Although you do need to be careful if
assigning large constants in your code to use the appropriate suffix as
well ie
unsigned __int64 AverybigInt = 1234567887654321ui64;
I haven't used them a lot, but they seem to work when I have - so maybe you
should be trying them instead of defining NO_LONG_LONGS.
