pbAPM v.0.7 available

[freedimension]

The new version of my arbitrary precision math library is now online.

http://www.pan-galactic-gargle-blaster.de/pbAPM.zip

New features include:
- support for infinite numbers and NaN's
- portability from F64-Lib
- some new functions

As the Infinity and NaN issue meant a massive rewriting of almost all codelines written before, I'm not quite sure whether there are still mayor bugs or not.
I would appreciate if someone else would test all the functions with extreme values (0, Infinity, Pi, Pi/2 and so on).

Bugfix 0.71 - Same Link

APM_toInt and APM_toFloat had to be fixed

[Fiwip]

Newcomer, I was about reading all the posts coming after searching the whole forum with "number* + precision*" when I found on your code.

Many many thanks for this.

I read you asked for somebody to test it, as your post is far from now, did you get something from all PB's asking for a tool like yours ? (before - if I understood well - getting something directly implemented by Fred inside PB: BTW I did not see anything recent on this subject. Do you know what we can expect and when ?)

As there are 2 posts from you around the same date (nov/03), I would like to be sure pbAPM replace definitly F64.

On a second hand, pbAPM install files in many folders of PB. I wanted to know the difference with F64 ? Is that a garantee for more stability and speed ?

I will be back to you because I am wondering if you can implement some new functions relatives to statistics and probabilities. Right now I think about the Gauss function.

Anyhow thanks again for this,

Fiwip

Hey,

I know how to make some sweet chm's.. but could you teach me how
you are linking the chm to 'your' keyword F1 press from inside the PB
environment?

The URL mentioned above is no longer active. Get a Copy at http://www.purearea.net


The thing with the linking to the F1 functionality is easy: Just keep all your .html files in the root directory of your chm-project. Don't make subfolders like /commands

So how does PB know to open that CHM, and go to THAT particular command?

i.e. when I click APM_StrFixpt, it opens the help file, and brings me right
to APM_StrFixpt ..

You have to assign the right *.chm file in your *.desc file, as described in the readmes of the sdk.
Then every command has to have its own *.html file, called like the command (ex.: apm_abs.html) that is placed in the root directory (i.e. the same directory the *.hhp file is in). That's IMO all.

Hmm, I've been using TailBite to create my libs.. I guess I could use the
option, "dont create lib, just create sources".. and modify the desc file?

Could you be so kind as to post a sample of your desc.. I learn great
by example.
