Hi Robert.

My understanding is that all platforms CAN do 64 bit calculation, but it's generally frowned upon on 32-bit platforms as it's rather slow.
Presumably, something along the lines of the following would be preferred...
Q> #ifdef NATIVE_64_BIT Q> // 64-bit calculation Q> #else Q> // 32-bit calculation Q> #endif
Best wishes from Riley.
