Yes, I'd like to post it to the wiki. I would have last night, but I
was running out of time and just became too tired. :)

Also, I think the wiki deserves a shorter, less wordy, version, as I
believe you have suggested ("some bits from the article"), and I
wouldn't mind at all if someone else wanted to take that on.
Otherwise, I will eventually post to the wiki such a version (and of
course, expect others to correct/edit as appropriate).

Hey Rick,

Thanks for the article! It was informative and interesting. It should make
the scale operations less intimidating and awkward to a new user. I
particularly like how it highlights the benefits over floating point math.
What do you think about publishing some bits from the article on the wiki?

Article on fixed-point arithmetic in picolisp

[rick]

Hello list!

Here is a blog post that I wrote about fixed-point number operations in
picolisp.

http://the-m6.net/blog/fixed-point-arithmetic-in-picolisp.html

It was fun to write and I hope you find it useful.  It might be a bit
tedious for the veterans because it is written to inform a relative
newcomer to picolisp about such things.  Anyway, as always, I'd
appreciate any comment upon it by all you sharp folks who regularly
teach me things here and on IRC.  Thanks!

All the best, --Rick (rick42)

P. S. -- I thought that writing this would be fairly easy; then I got
into it.  :/  When I thought I was finished, I didn't realize that I had
 more work to do and consequently I delayed publishing for another week.
 Wow.  And that wringer was just *one* post!  I don't think I could do
an *entire blog* on picolisp as some of you do -- that's for you
adventurous and energetic people.  :D
