Is there an 64bit integer type on all platforms? It tryed "long long int" in
C, but it seemed it didn't work (Linux nor w2k, but I'm not sure, could also
be because a misuse of printf). 64bit is enough for nearly any normal
application, where 32bits are on the limit. You can imagine a site having to
calculate with 2 billion, but with 9 * 10^27 I can't image it...

As I said before, AFAIK no-one is disagree'ing with using the name 'float'
in stead of double?
