Really? HP-41 user code can't do it?

Well, that's not quite what I said - I stated that "my" routines didn't work, as I was slavishly porting Valentín's HP-42 code directly - a big booooo to me ;-)

So many thanks for your new routine, very clever and good example of the platform capabilities when you know what you're doing with it.
I'm however curious: how does it respond for higher number of terms, say 10,000 or even 100,000? That's where the rubber meets the road, methinks.

Honestly I've come to the point that it's easier for me to go straight into MCODE than sleuthing around the FOCAL dustbin in search for better games, I confess.


Best,
