I just discovered a limitation I would like to have removed. If you try to do "BigInteger = BigInteger + UInt" in 2009R1 you get an irrelevant error message claiming there are multiple items with this name and which one you are referring to is unclear. The current "solution" is to CType the UInt to the next larger Int typ, which is impossible if the value is a UInt64.

Since version 1.1, these features have been added:

fpFactorial(x) for BigFloat; depending on the value of x this is either x! or Gamma(x+1).

fpFactorial(x) for BigInteger; x! is calculated using its definition; the result is always exact, unless there is overflow.

There is a much faster conversion of a large BigInteger into a string.

Freeware.

The xCode project for fp Plugin can be downloaded at:

http://homepage.mac.com/delaneyrm/fpPluginSource.zip

The project includes the source files for my multi-precision engine, fp.

Let me know of any additional features you would like added to fp Plugin.

Bob
