Hello -

     I can't locate the issue right now but I remember PPC Journal
publishing an article on how someone calculated PI to many digits
using an HP-41CV calculator.  This was a couple of years ago.

     I believe the author did it by expanding the power series and
then using a one-digit-per-register method of multiplicaton and
division.
