I think this is all in reference to the fn prototypes that I posted for the engine::bootstrap interface (I used __int64 for file size byte counts).
I wasn't thinking specifically about underlying implementation when I wrote that, I was actually thinking that 32 bits wouldn't cut it, and 64 seemed like enough. That, and in the .NET world, everything is 64 bit for files, and I know that Windows will do large files just fine. Olaf's doin' his job by making sure we mean what we say. :D ... Thanks Olaf!
