I was never able to get it to say that 2^2=4 with precision. Increasing the number of decimals just caused it to return 4.000000000000000000000000027.

OK <g>.

No, that's not what I mean.

Actually, I've now found a DLL version of the GNU arbitrary precision math library at . All of the docs still seem to be in C++, however, so I still don't know how to use it :-/
