EEVBlog #1159 Dave Jones reviews the DM42

[Thomas Okken]

It is a bit funny since super-high precision was never one of my goals for Free42. I just wanted HP-42S compatibility, and would have been perfectly happy with 12 digits like the original. But I didn't feel like writing my own decimal floating-point library, and given what was available, first from Hugh Steers and then from Intel, it just happened to work out this way.

Oh well, as long as it's good publicity!
