SLY,
I talked to Martin on the phone a couple months back on a steer from R.
Salesas (sp?). There's more cooking then M2. And it is pretty exciting (at
least for the things I'd like to learn about).
BTW, I did some experimenting and narrowed the floating point problems down
to the LongRealConversions module. There is a line that reads:
num:=num + PowerOfTen(-D)*0.5D;
that should read:
num:=num + PowerOfTen(-D-exp)*0.5;
I haven't check the RealConversions yet, but I suspect a similar fix needs
to be made there. Note that these are in the official 1.11 library
release.
