64bit math has no relation to teraspace.
RISC hardware always had 64-bit math.
long long integer type was available in C at least since V4R3. Don't know
about other languages.

Dumb question:

I told that in effect we didn't have 64bit math ops on this machine until
v4r5/v5r1.  This is to say that "long long" variables didn't exist until
they finally wokeup and got serious about terabyte space and gave us 64bit
math....

Can anyone confirm this for me?

Happy 4th...:)
