I'm not very familiarized with such expressions. What are the differences
between integer, small integer and double integer?
(of course, I prefer a double integer to a ridiculous *small* integer)
Momentary, I've desestimated using the "read" command and I'll be using a
"do shell script" to manipulate *mounts of data, which seems more accurate
and fast...
