Free42 possible accuracy flaw

[Thomas Okken]

Yes, Hugh Steers' library was pretty good! I switched to the Intel library in order to get IEEE-754-2008 features like denormal numbers and unbiased rounding, but if I had known about the problems with that library in advance, maybe I wouldn't have switched.

Regarding decimal and binary side-by-side: my Android and iOS projects are set up so I can build both, and they are built with different app IDs, so they can be installed side by side. The only thing I haven't dealt with is sharing state files between them the way the desktop versions do. Since there is essentially no demand, I haven't bothered to spend time on that, I have built the binary versions a couple of times when people specifically asked me, but that's it.

Regarding Windows Mobile: funny you should mention that. The Windows Mobile version was the most popular download on my web site for a long time, but I've actually never owned such a device, and never even seen Free42 run on one. I did all my work on it with the simulator in eVC++!
