unsigned longs are 4billion positive. Longs are -2billion to 2billion. Also, changing the typedef is not sufficient.
You will change things that shouldn't be changed to longs, and you will not get them all. The *only* fool proof way to expand your vnums is to go over your code with a fine-toothed comb and change the 'int's to 'long's. > -----Original Message----- > From: Boh-Ahz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 8:37 PM > To: 'Shaun Mcbride'; [email protected] > Subject: RE: Vnum Limitations > > > If I'm remembering right, you should just be able to change > the 'typedef' of sh_int (all vnums are sh_int's) to be an int > rather than short int.
