Hey, I have the same problem. It depends on what you want to do with the
numbers. If you are only totaling, you can use a counter to increment the
billions. When your total is greater that 1 billion, add one to the increment
variable and subtract 1 billion from the total. If you are going to manipulate
the total, then I don't know that you can do it. Unsigned Long maximum is
2^32.
