The largest integer value that a double without approximation can

Wow. Then I guess I don't have to worry about rollover with
Microseconds. =)
There might be something else to consider. REALbasic may use a double
to represent it but I have a strong feeling that the OS's storage of
this data may be different. Take the Date Class for example. On Mac,
the Total seconds are stored as an Uint32. This limits the Date to
2034 as far as I know. Also, on Win32, Microseconds is only resolved
to milliseconds.
Perhaps this "Rollover" effect is something to consider as RS
probably wouldn't mention it if it wasn't attainable.

Whoever evaluated it did notseem to understand the full impact of the color
issue:
The current report evaluation is:
Some values for green appear to work, such as RGB(0,200,0) but perhaps the
values are off slightly.
Slightly off!!!!!!
IIRC some bright green and bright yellow shades were just about totally
invisble on OSX but show up just fine on Win2K... I made a spectrum (ROYGBIV)
color menu with icons to test a class i was working on.
