Hi.

I’m starting work - at last! Time to put together than Athlon 64 X2  
3800+  
system I’ve been promising myself.

Now that one shall have 63-bit FixNums, here is what one want to know:  
is  
there a way to simulate 31-bit FixNums for those letter gentiles that  
are not  
as well bred as oneself?

Thank you, have some cake,  
Lord of the Manor Duke Asfand Yar Esq.
