I tried the 'd' on both a 32bit and 64bit machine and it works great. However, when you print to disk, you find that the result is not network neutral. 

Big-endian order on disk:     decimal 4294967246  hex'41EFFFFFF9C00000
+'
Little-endian order on disk:  decimal 4294967246  hex'0000C2F9FFFFEF41
+'

But let's hope the 'D' is improved to work on 32/64bit and is also network neutral. It would be the perfect answer.

Thank you
