Hi,
You know, I just found a really huge ColdFusion limitation. It can only
work with numbers smaller than 2147483647, which is the same as 7FFFFFFF in
hex, 17777777777 in OCT, and 1111111111111111111111111111111 in binary. It
seems that ColdFusion only allocated 31 bits of memory to each number (I
counted the 1's in binary). Because of this limitation, you can't use the
MOD operator, or the FormatBaseN and InputBaseN functions, of ColdFusion
using numbers bigger than 31 bits. It seems odd how ColdFusion would limit
a programmer like this. Are there any ways to get around this?
