Integr64 can't help you. You need FreeBASIC for that!
Some people I guess like to carry out large calculations, and for non-integers, large digit decimal fractions, but frankly, string math routines are the way I approach these situations.
One hurdle in string math is what to do with equations like 1 / 3 * 3. Without a way to hold a remainder, the function returns .99999999 repeatedly to as many digits as the user assigns.
