 I'll cherish this response for the rest of my life.

 I feel proud to have given something to the communiy that may be news.

 As a "WhipperSnapper" of only 57 years of age and
 with only fifteen years using B09, I am flattered.  Tongue in cheek.

 In my readings over the years, it was said that OS9/B09 had a superior 
math. However, in the example given in an earlier thread, it seems Color 
Basic went farther..

Color Basic = 8,099,999,999,999,997,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
OS9/B09   =       127,127,881,999,999,920,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

 It seems that B09 isn't up to the task ?????

 Like I really need this sort of precision! If I can keep it within .001 
inch, I'm okay with it.
