			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>While you could try using <em>REAL(KIND=16)</em> quad precision, you&#039;ll be right on the edge of its precision.&nbsp; I would alternatively suggest using a multi-precision library that&#039;s simple, like <a href="http://myweb.lmu.edu/dmsmith/FMLIB.html">FMLIB</a> that should allow arbitrary precision.&nbsp; The link above leads to the project page, and you should be able to simply add the necessary files to a Simply Fortran project.&nbsp; However, I&#039;m having some difficulty downloading the source files due to an issue with line endings...&nbsp; I&#039;ll contact the author.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>What is the recommended approach to handling big numbers. I need to evaluate alternating series (that don&#039;t simplify) containing terms of magnitude 1e25 but with resultants near 1 and a required precision of 1e-4. Suggestions please.</p>]]></content>
