No, this is question to Paradigma.  What does fld.GetString return when 
fld is a LLong?  Does it return an eight-byte string containing the  
integer data?  Does it return a string containing the representation of 
the string in arabic numerals?

I believe this is at least the third time I have asked the same 
question.  If you just don't want to answer, please so inform me.
