[Scilab-users] Increase Computing Precision beyon Double // Big Integers?

[Sandro Hardy]

Hi Mathieu,

thank you for your answer. I forgot to care about the truncation of the 
zeros although the output format is set to more digits. I fooled myself 
this way... so I assumed R and matlab would use different internal 
represantions to achieve higher precisions, but obviously they don't...

Allowing increased precsion was started with 
http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/dbldbl/ but it seems they stopped 
the development.

Thank you. I will try this.

Best wishes
Sandro
