hihi, doug - thanx for the suggestion - the notion of computing ut just with subtraction is really good, since it is likely to be the largest of the three values in most applications, but i'm a little worried that the 1024 multiplications aren't large enough when tt gets really large - i'll do the math on it and report its (provable) range of applicability and accuracy in a few days
