Increasing the vnums past 36k on win32

Hi,
There have been a few posts that the latest version of smaug 1.4a has increased the number of vnums past 36 k.
Is this just on linux? I just downloaded the source,
compiled it, and it has the limit of 36k, which is pretty useless. Can any recommend a way of increasing the vnums? and tell me how to add it to my code? I tried adding the billion vnum patch but I get a stack dump overflow

I really do not wish to use another mud source. Can anyone help or point me to some vnum code that works?

im working on the win32 platform btw... not linux...

Did you recompile everything? Make sure you delete all object files, and then recompile, or some files may recompile but not others.

Ok, i found a new code snippet
at http://www.angelfire.com/tn2/ZelseChar/vnums.txt

works perfectly after compile.. phew, thanks anyway Nick..
speaking of which, i suspect samson has posted a modified
win32 bank snippet, does anyone know his snippet site?

Look in the Download section, the bank would be under the 'Others' section.

Actually the banking code is in the Smaug section. I don't have a modified Win32 version of that, but I don't see any reason why it won't work. The code is fairly simple.
