Really big numbers

[D.BALE@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

a number greater than 170?  How about a 3-digit field?  ;-)

What?  You work for Microsoft?  170 digits?  Trying to set the world record
for largest prime number?

I guess it depends on what kind of math you're doing.

Math enabled RPGIV'ers,

What are some of the options for storing and manipulating
very large numbers where long float is just not large enough?
In this case to use a number greater than 170!.

Thanks,

David Morris
