The issue is not exclusive to 64-bit targets. You can scanf a >2GB decimal string on 32-bit too. We could just set lnz to match the location where the |=1 takes place (on the order of KMAX*9), or we could just make lnz long long (it's only used one other place). Your approach is probably nicer though. Rich
