That's odd - I had the impression that AT&T's C compiler at the time
SVR4 came out included "long long" support, but perhaps it didn't.

Can Gryphon be made to do a perhaps-less-than-ideal dissection without
64-bit integer support, e.g.  displaying 64-bit integers as hex (or,
alternatively, throwing in some routines to do whatever operations are
necessary on 64-bit integers represented as, say, arrays of 2 32-bit
integers)?
