Has R been ported to 64-bit platforms? E.g. as in FORTRAN when you
define
double precision number as:

REAL*16

I have heard that some SUN computers already offer 64-bit architecture
but I am unsure
about the GNU support for that hardware. I am seeking increased
accuracy in floating
point operations.

regards

Helgi
