RE: newRPL: [UPDATED Oct-19-2015] Firmware for testing available for download
But 527.67 x (5/9) does produce 293.15 ...
on a 12-digit machine:

527.67 x 0.555555555556
= 293.15000000023452

I see you multiply by 0.555555555555, that is not the correctly rounded 5/9
Alternatively you may multiply by 5 and then divide by 9 - only the latter will produce a rounding error.
