Hi.

Is there anywhere a 64 bit type in C I can get my hands on?
(the longest i've seen builtin to the compiler is the unsigned long, but I
commonly write more than 4 gigabytes to tape at once).

Which reminds me, freebsd's GNU tar apparently uses an "int" type for
tot_written, that doesn't look like it cant count over 32k bytes.

Any ideas?

Adrian.
