Date: Wednesday, 25 Aug 1982 12:20-PDT Yes! It the code is horrible. The C compiler does not do good things with single precision numbers: it converts them to double, does the math, and then converts back. One solution is to just use double precision. Another solution is to use single precision and run slower thann double. The right solution is for someone to fix the C compiler to handle this very useful primitive data type correctly.
