[REBOL] Re: Big number calculations

I'm not sure what you're asking (or whether I can help). If by footprint,
you mean printed representation, then using base 16, 32, 64, etc with
ascii or unicode symbols will work. If you mean computer memory space,
then you either have to give up on representing all numbers uniquely,
which is what exponential notation does, or you have to just accept the
memory hit and use bignums, as in LISP.
