Over the last few days i've been doing a bit of bcd-ing (simple things like
+,-,/,*,^ and sqrt). the routines i wrote seem to run at an acceptable speed
(EG adding 100,000 42-digit number`strings` takes less than a second). if
some of you are interested in it, i will `do a lib` of what i have so far
and post it before the end of this month to Rob. for the time being the
routines take either a sequence of atoms & integers OR a sequence of
sprintf()ed atoms & ints. if you all can live with this limitation let me
know through the forum and i'll do the job. we're talking full decimal
calculations and not like most BCD-implementations i found (like ABC) long
integer-calculations.
