I thought so, but same happens when I use the new Pd Vanilla 64 bits...

this mean that it's compiled for 64 bit CPU, not that float are store on 64 bits

Also last time I checked, Pd saves floats by first printing them to 6 digit precision, so they have even less range than a 'float' type.

You could use an object made with pdlua to manipulate large floating-point numbers, as there is no(?) limit to the size of a float in lua.
