The limit will be the same on any system running Euphoria that
has IEEE floating-point hardware (all that I know of).
I was not being very precise when I said 1e300, but when you consider
that there are at most 1e81 atoms (no pun intended) in the universe, 
it's hard to imagine what use someone could possibly have for
numbers like 1e300 or higher.
