Sure, this require the primitive to be compiled with LargeInteger plugin. Otherwise, it is as if you would replace primitive for multiplying 2 LargeInt by Smalltalk code...
Ok, that makes sense.
However....
I am giving up building a Win32 vm. It is a piece of crap. Ever since I wrote the VMMakerTool back in 2000 at Exobox, it relied on having good platform code and good Plugin code in the image. I am getting endless errors on various plugins, which I have been removing from Internal, back to Not Built. From a fresh 4.2 image with VMMaker, the plugins I have removed:
UUIDPlugin QuicktimePlugin SocketPlugin (I really need this one!) SoundCodecPrims SoundGenerationPlugin SoundPlugin StarSqueakPlugin
that's it, it is broke dick. I am giving up.
Well, it works for most people, so you're doing something wrong. If you give a step-by-step description of your vm-building process, then someone will be able to help.

Unless you can get me an external LargeIntegerPlugin.dll, I will have to for go testing your algorithm. Darn, I was looking forward to it.
