Not much to go on. Can you be more specific? Note that 5.5 is the only version you list which has support for 64-bit ints. >Another posting I read suggested that 5.02 is the earliest version of the compiler >to support this ... Correct. But only for 32-bit targets, not for 16-bit. >is it in 5.0 as well? No. >Or do I have to find a 5.02 somewhere? Yes, but ... it won't help if you must create a 16-bit app. >If so, where could I find it? Possibly on Ebay or other sites which sell used software. >The code we are compiling is _not_ for windows, it is for an embedded system, 16-bit? Then no Borland (or Microsoft) compiler offers such support. It's only in compilers which create 32-bit targets. You may want to look elsewhere for large number support libraries (freeware/shareware/commercial.) >I would prefer to stay away from 5.5 which seems to target windows only. Correct. (Win32) Note that 5.5 is from the Builder version 5 package. 64-bit int support was added to BC++ 5.02 for compatibility with Builder version 1. -- Wayne A.
