What if you tried a double? Oh wait: The Hex$ value only excepts Long. Crap. Well that kind of stops it. Well I guess what would have to happen is, that huge string would have to be split up into several Long's. Then you would have a HiLong part of the number, and a LowLong part of it. The technique is similar to what you had to do on an Atari system, where a big number sitting in memory woud take up 2 spots in memory, a hi byte, and a low byte, so Number would equal LowByte+(256*HiByte).
Jabstract: Don't just imagine, make it happen!
