Ok, I was led to beleive that bigs in version D would be in C.  I have a C.
There is nothing wrong with this that I can see.  It doesn't 'invent' a 
new formula, it just goes back and reformats it as if you HAD had inplicit
() on.  That is all.  I suppose that it IS possible that D does something
with it that C doesn't but this is really very unlikely.  About the other
ones, who knows.... Maybe someone from our friend 'Hewlett Packard' can
shed some light on them.
