The linked program allows the user to set the precision he prefers. 1/8 is just as fine as 1/64. If possible (and set by the user) the program reduces the resulting fraction to the one with the least denominator.

On the 41 (C/CV) there is no AIP command that appends the integer portion to Alpha. So ARCL has to be used and the display mode is set to FIX 4 without radix mark (flag 29). On the 42s you can of course use AIP (and a few stack exchange commands as AIP only works with X). Maybe you have also seen the discussion on using RCL d/STO d on the 41. This synthetic 41 command saves all flag settings (not only those for the display) resp. restores them later. Dieter |
