I've just compiled Emacs again using "--with-wide-int" as an additional (or sole) configure option and get: (string-to-number "987654321"): 987654321 (#o7267464261, #x3ade68b1) So, no need to upgrade the whole system to 64bit if that was the only problem... :-) Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ SD adaptations for Waldorf Q V3.00R3 and Q+ V3.54R2: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#WaldorfSDada
