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>
It's been past time that I (or someone else) unify all the particular types, constants, and macros pertaining to the double-long types. Furthermore, since the double-long and the __int64 types are mutually exclusive (AFAIK), the unifying items should shadow the __int64 family instead when that's defined in lieu of the double-long types. -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com
