[R] 64-bit programming

[helgito@hi.is]

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
