large floating point calculations
I would like to write a math program that can do floating-point calculations to several hundred decimal places. What would be the best (or easiest) programming language to use.
Thanks for any help

C/C++ already has a library for doing that. I know it can be done in JavaScript as well.

Thank you..
I don't have any familiarity with JavaScript so I will buy a copy of C/C++.
I actually found a workaround today for small calculations. Microsoft has a calculator program in its WinXP powertoys collection. It can be set to do calculations to 512 bit precision - slow but useable. Thanks for your help.

You don't have to "buy" C/C++. Dev-C++ is a free IDE and that comes with the free MinGW compiler.

another freebie
Microsoft also offers a free version of its "Visual C++2005 Express Edition". It's free but it looks like you have to register to get a "key" to activate it. It's available at the website below.
Visual Studio Express: Visual C++ - Easy to Use I assume it's a stripped down version. Does anyone know what it lacks?
