In double precision mode, i.e. 1 ULP = 10—34, a value like 10—17 or 10—20 in R00 yields 33 correct digits (...7216 resp. ...7215 instead of ...7213). Dieter |

On the other hand the features discussed here are unique to the 34s, so they should be named differently. Maybe THIFOCAL (thirty-four calculator language). ;-) Dieter |

I tried quite hard to include complex versions of everything I could, the notable exception being the Riemann Zeta function where I couldn't find a suitable complex approximation. - Pauli |

About the meaning of this I've pondered, "What the heck might that be?", I wondered. My search has now come to an end. :-) |

You probably never have to handle this by yourself if your default-encoding is set to UTF-8. Your OS/editor/browser will translate the text to UTF-8 on the fly based on the encoding of the source.

On the Chrome browser go to Settings; search for Encoding; then select Customise Fonts in the Web Content section; scroll to the bottom, and there you are! No doubt something similar can be done in other browsers. Nigel (UK) |

I don't see a need to set the encoding manually. Normally, the encoding of an HTML page is indicated in its header. All entry fields do just use the very same encoding as the page they are part of. From the source of this page (the one I'm typing my reply in): Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> To be precise: The encoding may as well be indicated in the HTTP header as can be deduced from the "http-equiv" attribute. Final words: Don't worry, just paste your special characters and you're done! If it doesn't work change your web browser.
