RE: Using integers instead of floats with Lua 5.0.2

["Kevin Baca" <lualist@...>]

I'm using 5.1-work0.  These are the #defines I changed:

#define LUA_NUMBER      int
#define LUA_INTEGER     int
#define LUA_NUMBER_SCAN "%d"
#define LUA_NUMBER_FMT  "%d"

#define lua_str2number(s,p)     strtol((s), (p), 10)
