Yes, that would be better. But it will take much more work to implement. We'd probably have to use GNU MP, or something like it. That is one more thing to configure, and one more thing to complicate installation and use. So there are at least some arguments against it. In the meantime it's nice if we can use floating-point as accurately as we can. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
