Thanks. I had gotten that far with John Dougan's help and tried to save
back to the repository but it wouldn't accept since I lack a password.
I converted all references of Floats to Fractions just to see if
there was an easy way to give it higher precision but it slowed down to
< Apple ][ speeds when I did that.
Obviously the naive way isn't going to work. I gotta think there's some
glitch with what I did, or incompatibility with the algorithm and
Fractions....
