Such strange goings on. This doesn’t work on my MB Pro running Yosemite and LC
6.6.5 either. Nothing happens! If it hit enter repeatedly I get an “execution
error . . . can’t find handler . . . hint: go
Cheers,

I've created similar routines in the past. Are you saying you do or don't
want to allow for arbitrarily-large divisors?
a pseudo-code algo for divisors that LC can handle:
1. remove the decimal points, remembering where they were
2. get the length of the divisor
3. grab that many characters from

Hi all,
I wanted to develop a library to allow me to perform basic maths (add,
subtract, multiply, divide) with arbitrarily long numbers in LiveCode. My
requirements are simple:
- integers and floating-point numbers must be supported as all operands in all
operations, to an arbitrarily large
