HP49-50G: MLSV OK for -1E-495, not OK for -1E-496, ROOT OK for both

[Gil]

For x near -1/e, I tried to copy your code, Albert

« a NEG 1 60
START 'y' STO y 'y*LN(y)-a' —>NUM 'y-1/e' —>NUM e * LNP1 —>NUM / -
NEXT LN
»

Code:

\<< a NEG 1 60
  START 'y' STO y 'y*LN(y)-a' \->NUM 'y-1/e' \->NUM e * LNP1 \->NUM / -
  NEXT LN
\>>

May I ask what your program gives for
W-1(a=-.3678794411).

My result with the above code on my HP50G is
-1.000019 63105

But Wolfram differs:
-1.000019 708014416801577108775088535244577659214984302969737
