Very nice, but I didn't see any mention of
unlimited precision integers.

That's because PowerBASIC doesn't offer it at this time. However, we
do offer the greatest variety of data types I've seen anywhere.

<shrug> And in any case, if you offer a programmer-definable RECORD or
STRUCT type (which, presumably, you do), he can write his own bignums.

Yeah, but I don't want to build the jet, I want to
ride in the first-class cabin.

Alternatively, if you offer a way to bind to C libraries, he can hook into
GMP or Miracl.

That would be awesome. Can PowerBASIC do that?
