1. bigfixed.e - bignum.e
Who wants me to complete the documentation and distribute my Bignumber
library?
It supports floating point math.
Such as:
3.75 + 1.25 = 5
3.75 - 1.25 = 2.5
3.75 * 1.25 = 4.6875
3.75 / 1.25 = 3
Any takers?

Is that the current limit of what it does? No idea of the number of decimal
points, etc?

Limit? No!
Short example? Yes!
I really should have expanded more... Bignum handles that much.
Number of Decimal points is .. how do I say it? Configurable?
Adjustable? Settable?
There are some limitations to the lib. It isn't good with converting
numbers from 1 setting to another. Convesion almost guarntees
loss of data. Depends on the values what your are converting
from and to.
bigfixed.e also handles, logs(), powers(),
