Q.
I am new to NLM programming. Is there any standard that will let me use a 64-bit type as a long long? Can I do this even if the computer I am compiling on is only 32-bit?
A.
This depends not on the OS, but on the compiler you are using. All C/C++ compilers that generate NetWare NLMs support 64-bit data types. In fact, for example, 16-bit computers supported 32-bit data types without any problems. If you need 64-bit variables, make sure your compiler supports them.
