[REBOL] Re: long unsigned

[Anton]

I think you hit the bit limit of a
signed integer in rebol? Rebol has no
unsigned integer as far as I remember.

Here's a few suggestions:
1) Send formatted as long signed, then get rebol
  to convert to decimal! on the server.

2) Send formatted as float or double.

What is the strange value server receives?

Anton.

 Hi I am *trying* to send a string formatted like this:
 
 %lu %lu %ld \n in C-style printf format over a tcp connection.
 
 However the long unsigneds give always the same (strange) value on 
 the server (which is a binary for me).
 
 How can I get the unsigneds correctly over the wire?

What is the strange value?  Are you sure you're in range for
REBOL integers (-2147483648 = value = 2147483647)?

It turned out the protocol I am doing is implented in strings, so no 
problems anymore...
