You can even display the next PI decimals down to the 67th place, since this new Free42 (as the regular HP42S) 'knows' PI in double precision:

Code:
PI SIN            ; calculates the residual vs real PI value
1E-33 +           ; adjust to positive value
1E45 * IP         ; digits 34-45 are: 884 197 169 399
LAST FP 1E12 * IP ; digits 46-57 are: 375 105 820 974
LAST FP 1E12 *    ; digits 58-67 are: 944 592 307 8

All digits are correct, thanks Intel!
