According to Jesper Lund:
Is Sizeof (LongInt) = 8 on *all* systems supported by GPC?
Not guaranteed. It might be 16 on some systems.
I am asking this because writing a good pseudo-random number generator is a lot easier (transparent) and more efficient (execution speed) if a 64-bit Integer is available.
Use `Integer ( 64 )' which is guaranteed (to the extend of the GPL;-) to have 64 bits.
