Re: Swarm Futures re-cap

I've never needed more than 5 or 6 decimal places of precision, and so I 
just floor, round, or ceiling as required.  That's probably not what you 
wanted to know, though.

IIRC, there's a GNU library that provides arbitrary precision 
arithmetic.  You should be able to download it and compile it into your 
program like any other library.

Cheers,

Jason
