Well, actually, your bank account was at 1x10^15, as it should be, but 
Taipan doesn't know the word "Quadrillion".

My congratulations, BTW. I never got even close to that high without

(Taipan for the z-machine now on release 2, with a bunch of bug fixes
on R1. Also, source code released. Both on ifarchive.org. I'll stop
flacking now, really.)
