Doc: Integers larger than 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 are truncated to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. Integers smaller than -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 are truncated to -9,223,372,036,854,775,808.

These look correct (although my eyes go funny when I look at them...:-):


newLISP v.8.9.8 on OSX UTF-8, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

So it seems to be a Win32 MinGW bug.

Yes, there is definitely a problem with the new 64Bit stuff on Win32 MinGW, I will investigate.

Fortunately this was only a display problem with ints on Win32,  fixed in development version 8.9.9. See announcement in news section.
