(found by trying to display -- higher values get exp notation) PS: Just read at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/945731/what-is-the-maximum-value-of-a-number-in-lua that the mantissa is 52-bit wide.

I will need integers which width is n*24 bits, where n is not yet known, but for sure >= 3. Denis ________________________________ la vita e estrany http://spir.wikidot.com/
