Hi All, I have a 2048 bit number that I need to do some maths on. I have it stored as text in a container as it has 617 decimal digits. How do I convert this to an integral number that I can do maths on? I have made up a record that has 64 unsigned longs in it ( 64 32 bit integers). How do I get the number into this record and how do I then take the square root of the number, use it in a FOR-NEXT loop, do MOD maths on it and divide it. Thanks very much for any help, Ashley ~)~ ============================================================= Ashley Butterworth Email: macbse@... ============================================================= _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
