First off I want to thank all of those who answered my question on long numbers
and how to change strings to integers.  I have got the long numbers working
fine, except now I need some help with atol().

data.sqle is defined in my structure (an include file) as type 'long int'.
data.sqft is a string consisting of some numeral value (yes, with quotes
and starting at [0] :-).  Now why does the command:

data.sqle = atol(data.sqft);

go crazy when I give it anything larger than 32000 (by 'going crazy' I mean
giving the usual wierd numbers that have no connection with the origional
one at all)?  Please tell me this is not a bug with TC.....


                Thanks,
