Re: Large number division

Lief,

The numbers would be placed in a character string padded with zeros.

For example:

3333 becomes 000000000000000000000000003333
1 becomes      000000000000000000000000000001

OR 

999999999999999999999999999999 becomes 999999999999999999999999999999
1 becomes    000000000000000000000000000001


Any string that contained a decimal position would be shifted so that the 
number string would only have integer numbers.

44.4 from the command entry screen would become 
000000000000000000000000000444
