..But it seems that not every platform that doesn't use the __int64 types ignores the constant. I copied that code from some other file (I forgot which one.); presumably, that author couldn't find a ULONG_MAX equivalent for the __int64 type family. If there is one, or a better alternative that never chokes on non-Windows systems, can you tell me?

at least linux/gcc has a constant named "ULONG_LONG_MAX" defined in <limits.h>
