[Coco] One-liners coming through!

[Brian Blake]

Well my real coco3 is at home and Vcc was the only thing I have installed on my PC at work. In either case +37 or +38, I cannot concieve a need, in my life, to work with a number that large...

BTW... thanks yahoo:

8,099,999,999,999,997,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

That I believe is somewhat beyond the overflow point of the c libraries float 
functions, which overflow at someplace in the +37 range.
