Hi, Noorez Kassam,
I would try first "const T&":
 bool basic_bignumber<T, __low_value, __high_value>::operator>( const T& 
test )
(I cannot test it now)
I think there is something wrong with the prototype of the 
compare-operator. The compiler gets
no match in cases of parameter-types-incompatibilities. The "name" of 
the compare method is correct,
that's clear: "operator>".

best regards,
Wolf Peuker
