I put in - "761051181016810111810599101115476511711611170105108116101114"

fromsymbol-changes-ints

What about this, this is completely wrong? Why does fromsymbol just change the numbers going into it as well as removing quotes? It should leave the message intact.

"771216810111810599101478410410511510511587114111110103"

Completely lost as to why Max doesnt just convert a symbol directly to a number if I ask it to...

Problem solved - I did not realise that zl.change takes symbols - I was converting using atoi and back again itoa - Max doesnt seem to like large integers at all

It is not a Max thing, but has to do with integer and computing in general. 9223372036854775807 is highest (signed) integer that can be generated on a 64-bit system (on a 32-bit system it is 2147483647).

fromsymbol changes ints?
