Hi Paul



 PE> P.S. I tried out your code, but couldn't make it print the reciprocol of

Consider any code I post here (0.3 lines per year on average so

far) public domain unless specifically stated otherwise.



I think it's a bit limited as is. All it does is divide one real

number by another real number, and produce a string result. A

better package would be able to use strings as inputs, as well as

being able to multiply, add, and subtract. But that starts to get

complicated - for example, multiplying two 500 digit numbers can

produce a 1000 digit answer. So we go to mantissa/exponent

notation, and stick some sort of limit on precision. Gets a bit

bigger than the 20 line program I wrote in the first place...



Cheers
