GWBASIC programming question

Is there an upper limit as to the number of digits that a value (numeric) can have in GWBASIC ?

What I am trying to do is to count to 100 million by incrementing the value by 1 each time.

It works fine if I attempt to count to 10 million BUT if I increase the desired count total to 100 million, it does NOT seem to work.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks.
 
Sorry I don't have an answer to your question.

GWBasic? I haven't heard that in what seems like 15 years! Do they still make it,
or is an old copy? I remember using that on my dad's Epson (I'll never forget
that PC becuase it had dual 5 1/4" drives! LOL)
 
Yes, it is an old copy but it is very much still available, do a search. One of the best little program languages ever invented !!!
