Hola, I'm currently working on a project involving Analog's ADE7756
Energy Meter chip.  It has a 40-bit energy register to store the
accumulated energy.  I'm coding in Hi-Tech C on a 16F876 and am having
troubles coming up with a good way to store the data and still be able
to use it as a simple atomic variable.

PICC doesn't seem to care for long int's, and even still a long isn't
large enough to store the 40-bit number.  A character array works for
now, but testing is becoming a pain since I'd like to be able to add and
multiply this number easily as well as output it using printf to my
console.

A side note, Hi-Tech's printf produces G's, H's and I's when I print
using the %x format, last I heard those weren't hex values. :)

Ideas?  Suggestions?  Is there a way to make a 40-bit int?
