    Hi list,

    Long time lurker here.

    I have been using the commandline tool bc (under linux) for doing maths
    with huge numbers, I was wondering if anybody else knew of other similar
    tools I am running into limitations with bc such as

    obase=16
    FFFFFFFF^FFFFFFFFFF
    Runtime error (func=(main), adr=23): exponent too large in raise

    (yes I need to actually calculate this)

    and when taking a large root such as:

    100000000000000000^0.10
    Runtime warning (func=(main), adr=21): non-zero scale in exponent

    All suggestions welcome.

    Have fun,
    Harm none.

    NoNME.
