I would like to use Long Integers in a program, but try as I may I cannot
perform any math operations above the 32767 limit of Integers.
 
Here is an example:
 
ZPhooey& = 9 * 3600
Print "ZPhooey="; ZPhooey&
 
This outputs "ZPhooey=32400".
 
BUT changing the multiplication from 9 * 3600 to 10 * 3600 gives me an Overflow
error, so there must be something special to perform math with Long Integers?
Integers?
 
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
