What is the size limit for numbers in LC? -- and multiplying really large numbers

[Mark Schonewille]

Jerry,

Please, read my previous e-mail carefully. I didn't write that you can't 
do any calculations beyond 15 digits. I wrote that calculations aren't 
reliable beyond 15 digits. I made a general statement. You will find a 
similar statement in the LiveCode manual.

Best regards,
