Yeah whatever, you did something that I didn't spare the brain cell to try to figure out back then :-) Maybe I should have ... I was also worried about the embedded folks having a go at me for "bloat they don't need". But in the end it was wrong, it should always be 64-bit. But regardless, I still think it should be a specific type. "unsigned long long" really sucks.
