We use VS Pascal Release 2. The type INTEGER is 4 bytes - 32 bits. I suspect
that to use bigger integers you will have to manipulate them as strings,
and have user-written functions to do the sums. There used to be a set of
Fortran routine to manipulate integers of any length via strings in the
DECUS libtrary, but I don't know if it is still available, or available
in PASCAL.
