Actually the question concerning intermediate precision on EVAL has
come up a few times on this list. For those that got into RPGIV early,
it is "old hat". In fact it is one of the things that I really harp on when
I teach RPGIV. I have the rules (from the manual) as a slide in my
presentation and handouts along with a couple of samples as that
show the precision for each intermediate result as the equation is
resolved .
