Integer Plugin allows you to construct programs which can handle unsigned 64-bit, signed 64-bit, and unsigned 32-bit integers. You can use the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and / with these numbers. They can also interact with REALbasic integers, which are signed 32-bit integers. Doubles, Integers, and Strings can be converted to the new types, and vice-versa. The new numbers can be saved to and retrieved from a MemoryBlock, using its LittleEndian property or a user-defined Boolean. Version 1.2 allows comparisons to be made between UINT64 integers, between INT64 integers, and between UINT32 integers. In addition INT64 integers can be compared to doubles or integers.
