From what I have tried there is no support for sin() cos() functions.
May be clipper supports them however I don't want to loose the interpretive
mode of db3+ at least at this stage.
(1)  I think db3+ supports some sort of object code loading, has anybody
      implementated such "basic" trig stuff in whatever (asm,c,...) ???
(2)  Is there such thing as user-defined function in db3+?
(3)  How to go about setup some mem-vars to simulate predefined constants
     such as PI for example?
     

Thank you.
