Hi jondo
Atm PB dont support doubles... But its planed for one of the next versions... Maybe Fred will bring us doubles with the next release? Let us see

Mabye you can handle it via strings until PB supports doubles

Not for the next version. But Rings has done a BigNumber lib, which can handle very very big numbers...
