No arithmetic problems here
by
Anonymous
I tried those conversions in Panther and did NOT have most of those problems. The 2^32 thing gave me the correct answer, and the acres thing never responded with 0.
The only problem I saw was Apple using 0.00000012 as the conversion from inches to acres. That's not quite accurate, and the difference really multiplies out. So don't use Calculator to convert huge areas from inches to acres. But given that conversion factor, Calculator gave the right result.
In other words, I see one imprecise (and obscure) conversion preset... and NO arithmetic errors at all.
