I discovered this while implementing some of Gabrial Boehme's suggestions,
and generally revamping (again) my math(s) libraries:

-- DOS32/WIN32 dependant:
global constant
    Accuracy = 15,-- decimal places
    Epsilon  = power(10, -Accuracy)

? Accuracy
? Epsilon

Output:

15
1 [!! Should be 1e-15!]

It's easily solvable in code (just add another "global constant" and
remove the comma), but it's a funny little bug... //\Oo/\\ :)
