I'm looking for information on the subject of double-precision arithmetic on
the HP-28S. In Eric Toonen's list of SYSEVAL numbers, some mention of
double-precision numbers was made, and now my curiosity is piqued. Does the 28S
have double precision capability, and if so, what operations are supported. I
realize one would need to write ML routines to do the dirty work, and that the
display surely cannot handle them, but does anyone have any info on this?
