Hi,

So does it mean we can make FT_UINT64 to be able to handle bitmasks?
What needs to be done?

Best regards
Michael

ReliantUNIX 5.43 is MIPS 32 bits only but 5.44 and 5.45 (the current and last (there will never be a follow-up)) are MIPS 64 bits with support for %ll. 


If so, is it OK if we require 64-bit
integral data type support in Ethereal, or should we fix up the places
where we currently use it?
I use GCC for compiling on all systems, thus there is a 64 bit data type available even on ReliantUNIX 5.43 and also SINIX-Z (really old Siemens UNIX 
for i386).
2) use our own routine to format 64-bit integers into strings, and use 
that to generate output rather than using %ll/%q/%L/etc.
That would be nice. I just looked up the source for such a decimal formatter, 
which is really easy (if there is a 64 bit data type available).

Bye, Uwe
