Before this discussion gets any further, maybe the original poster could tell us what he intends to *do* with the highly accurate value of pi he is after? I am certainly no expert on numerical computation, but I know that using the wrong approach in numerical calculations quickly can reduce any initial accuracy a *lot*. Just having a highly accurate initial value of pi, as long double or whatever, is pointless if one then uses it in a silly way in calculations, or if the actual *variable data* used in the calculations has much less accuracy. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
