I created download #
10044, "Math Unlimited", for arbitrary precision. Yes, it is poorly tested. It is also much, much slower than native VFP.
I was considering linking to a DLL which somebody else wrote in C or C++, for arbitrary precision (I think such a thing must exist as freeware, but I have to investigate that, too). The main reason would be speed. However, right now I have other priorities.
