Dear Stavros, thanks for your hint, it works with
bfloat(1/23869);
displaying all the digits. But when I calculate big integers (like 2^50)
I still get a short output. I guess I need to use another operator
instead of ^ to get big numbers...
BTW: If I have a recursive definition of a sequial like
a[n]:=2+a[n-1];
I fail to find a way to define a[0].
Thanks for your patience
Ralf.
