Re: [aclug-L] Difinitive pi

[jeffrey.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I heard somewhere that someone did the calc on a Cray and it was more a
matter of when they stopped it (although it would seem that a Cray would
run out of memory before too long).  I'm sure it's an ugly number though
and still unrepeating.

Of course the difinitive value of pi is not known, but I am curious if
there is a stored system value of pi, and if so, to how many digits it is
accurate.
