Thus spake spike66:

|GNU: How many of you are using GNU software? I need to find
|some arbitrary precision arithmetic software to chase ever-closer-
|to-perfect odd numbers. Currently I am at the precision limit of
|microsloth excel, which is about 15 decimal digits. Alejandro
|is using bc, which is a GNU product, open source, which I
|find very appealing.

Some bc(1) are GNU bc, some are not.

|Can anyone suggest an alternative? I need about 30 decimal
|digits precision. spike
