What program in Basic will allow me to find the value of
the Greek letter that's used in finding the area or
circumference of a circle? What's the program for finding
the value of pi? I am using an Apple IIe (enhanced with 128K).
Hopefully, the program will allow me to find "pi" to at least
100 places to the right of the decimal point.
and like that
Bern

I couldn't mail the program directly so I posted it to comp.binaries.apple2.

I don't know if it still comes with this demo or not... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howard C.
