Using the GNU "bc" utility:
$ bc -l bc 1.06 Copyright 1991-1994, 1997, 1998, 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. For details type `warranty'. scale = 3000 # number of output places wanted obase = 12 # output base print 4 * a(1) # pi = 4*arctan(1)
I don't believe GNU "bc" is available for Windows, is it?
Thanks,
