Yes - and the more precision, the slower it will get.
 
This thread is dead - time to start something new.

Hi George,
 
Obviously, PADS didn't change mathematics (at least in this case), and no one 
said there was no round off.  Other programs simply provided enough digits 
(precision) to be able to reduce the round off so it has minimal or no 
significant effect.  Obviously, it can be done and works fine.
 
Regards,
 
Austin

Whatever you say, Austin.  PADS changed mathematics so there would be no round 
off.
