R help - Jun 2007 - the biggest integer R can display in complete form but not scientific form

Dear R-lister,

One of my friends wanted to produce random number which is 64 bits. He did
it with Fortune. I think R can do it also. But I don't know how to display a
very big integer in the complete form but not scientific form. And what's
the biggest integer R can display in complete form ?

Thanks in advance,

Li Junjie

I guess the biggest integer R can represent (if this is what you mean) 
is machine dependent and you can find it out via:

.Machine
help(".Machine")

I hope this helps,
