For the benefit of people who want to work on this: There is code on http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11643 for converting between MPFR and maxima BFLOAT. The problem that needs to be figured out is how to set fpprec to a reasonable value. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
