You're probably right but on a homebrew project you can do whatever you like Smile I went with 32 decimal places on my homebrew calculator because I had a massive amount of left over memory and . . . why not?

There is Intel's Decimal Floating-Point library, which has support for 128-bit transcendental functions and which Thomas Okken used for Free42 (as well as Swiss Micro's DM42).

I wanted to incorporate it into my project but couldn't figure out how to do it. If anyone is able to help, please let me know. The calculator would then have support for floats, doubles and quadruples.
