Hello everyone, (i hope this is the right forum for this question) Using mathlink, if an expression evaluates to a very large integer that would not fit 32 or 64 bits, mathematica sends back an integer with error code MLEOVLF (overflow in integer). The integer is truncated to its first 8 or 9 digits. It seems there is no function like MLGetInteger for arbitrary size integers... So, is there an elegant way to retreive a very large integer through mathlink? Sincerely, Sebastien
