Joe quotes: > "If you think you need to use floating point, you don't fully > understand your application." Right. There isn't anything you can't do with bignum. I wrote software for control systems using cpus such as the RCA 1802. You can do a lot more with 8 bit integers than seems possible at first thought. You can also get by without a multiplier. -- John Hasler jhasler@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
