    well, that certainly can't work... the IPv6 format is max 8 four character hex
    numbers and 128 bits...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Representation


4 * 32-bit = 128-bit?

Also 8 four *character* hexnumbers are 4 eight character hexnumbers aka four 32-bit integers.


erk! i totally missed that was using longint... not sure if that would work, either, though, since longint can go negative... but i was mainly looking at the format and expecting to see 8 fields, not four... i guess i needed more c0ffee :(

For the storage itself it's completely irrelevant whether it's LongWord or LongInt as 128-bit is 128-bit.

Sven
