That's why my first posting proposed a method of getting the necessary results without using floating-point hardware, and my third posting reminded another non-reader that my first posting said what it said. But then someone named Linus something- or-other posted a reply saying that it actually is possible to use the floating-point hardware, within some constraints. But don't worry about that, you didn't read my postings and you won't read his. Now I see why everyone hates you.
