Hello everyone.
When I execute the following in R

[1] 0.5833333
I get small precision for what I am trying to deal with . Is it possible to
increase the precision for this and for other operations?
For example openoffice calc for this operation returns
0.58333333333333300000
With options(digits=20) R will print
0.5833333333333334
which looks to me to be slightly more accurate than the OO value. But
the internal value is unaffected by the options("digits") setting, it
only affects printing.
