I have 2 questions:

1. Does djgpp support 64-bit integers?


2. I need to store float and double variables in a binary savegame file.
How is this done using getc/putc. My plan is to shove the address of
the float into a long integer pointer and then write the float to the
file as if it is an 32-bit integer. Saving doubles would involve saving
the first and second 32-bits as seperate chunks. (Doubles are 64-bit, right?)
Does that sound correct? I realise that to save long integers I will have to
break them into bytes first.
