Re: Lua Long Numbers

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

I was looking for ways to make the LNUM patch do this (having decimal  
number arithmetics). It proved too difficult without having a  
dedicated library taking care of the arithmetics etc.

Please tell us when/if you find a module that does that great. With  
for example complex numbers there's both the module way and the patch  
way (LNUM, completely integrated to Lua native number type).
