I've been following this erudite discussion with interest and a modest degree of understanding. But one thing seems clear to me - that any quality implementation is going to require at the very least 'big' ints and 'big' floats, and probably exact int and exact floats. It would seem that we need tried and tested Boost license implementations - preferably before starting work on a complex geometry problem. No solution can be considered for Boost if it uses any restrictive-licensed components. Is this/these something that someone could propose and mentor for a GSoC project? (I'm not offering - just asking ;-) Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal, UK LA8 8AB +44 1539 561830, mobile +44 7714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
