lucas thanks for alerting me to

its indeed a major headache :-(
conclusion: the only reliable way using [text] with big numbers is with from/tosymbol.

i totally agree, it would be good to be able to write/read 64bit-arrays.
what i like about [text] is multi column data - though it gets really slow with bigger files.
