Hi Dave,
the problem is I have a very huge code and to manually go and change
to __int64 would be very tedious....so thats why was thinking if
there are some kind of compiler switches to force ints as
__int64's...?

Nope. In an intuitive world, "long" would be 64 bits in a 64-bit
compilation, as it is in gcc, but Microsoft decided we were all too
stupid to handle that. In my opinion, that was a huge mistake.

I'm not sure I understand. long _is_ 64-bit in a 64-bit build, just like
in GCC. What again are you complaining about?

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
