Anyone have > information on this or if it's true? I believe GCC 2.7.x added support for 'long long', but I think it still relies on whether your computer can handle 64 bit integers or not. Bitfields, although not as simple to implement, can handle (to my knowledge) much more than 64b. Someone converted CircleMUD v3.0bpl8 to use bitfields. It might not be hard to apply that to CircleMUD v3.0bpl11 and actually it shouldn't be difficult to diff stock pl8 with the changed pl8 then patch that into pl11 and do any rejects manually. Good luck. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
