Jef Kell wonders what a classic 3000 would say when asked to make the
computation that the Pentium chip can't get right. Wonder no longer Jeff,
here is what my classic (Micro 3000) says about, double integer, real and
double precision (real) respectively:
 
:RUN PENTIUM
 
 
Z=     4195835 -((           1 )*     3145727 )=     1050108
Z=  .419584E+07 -((  1.33382     )*  .314573E+07 )=  .000000E+00
Z=  4195835.000000000     -((  1.333820449136241     )*  3145727.000000000
    )
 
=  .0000000000000000E+00
 
END OF PROGRAM
