[BMax 1.50] Does MilliSecs() return Int or Long?

[Adam Novagen]

Title says it all. This is such a hilariously simple question I almost feel dumb for asking, but I can't for the life of me find any indication of what value MilliSecs() returns. I'm just looking to make a totally accurate playtime calculator for my engine, but obviously I need to account for the possibility of MilliSecs() looping into the negatives, which means I need to know its maximum range.

It returns an Integer
However, it can be passed to a Long in 64-bit

Okay. This means that, by default, it will loop at 2147483647, right? i.e. even if I store the value in a Long variable, the initial value returned by MilliSecs() will switch to negative once it passes 2^31?

Oooooh, that is an excellent set of Types, will definitely use that. Thanks a million, Ron! Is this your own work?

This very special function is copied from the source mentioned there. If there is no source mentioned it is most probably my code.
