The compiler is correct.  Only according to THE BOOK, of course :-)

Frans van Otten mentioned a week ago that PIM3 introduces LONGINT and
LONGREAL as standard types, but ignores them in the rest of the
report.  There are no operators for them, they are not compatible or
assignment compatible to anything, and you don't have any denotations
for LONG...-literals.

[Not in PIM4, either.]
