Then why is there an INT64 type mentioned in the system tables as a data
type but not as a data type for columns when creating tables ? A
for-the-future addition which doesn't yet exist in the 6.5 release but made
its way into the 6.0 .pdf documentation set ? BTW, do you know if Borland
intends to update the 6.0 .pdf documentation set distributed with 6.5 to
something more recent or better ?
