So much fun that we all should do it.

Or learn _any_ scripting language at all ...

... meanwhile ... 30 seconds later ...

Okay, here is where we now stand:  As pointed out in the url above, advice #2 is to use "another language."

That seems clear enough (especially bolded).

Who else would like to take the next step?

4wd:
Why?

PowerShell doesn't suffer from the 32bit limitation ... as shown by me setting the script above to 2TB.

The numbers must all be within the range of 32 bit signed integer numbers (-2,147,483,648 through 2,147,483,647) to handle larger numbers use PowerShell or VBScript.
