Nitpicking again.

In paragraph 4 of the cpp_bin_float tutorial, you astutely note
that "providing an allocator
          as the final template parameter
causes cpp_bin_float to dynamically allocate the memory it needs"

But the allocator type is no longer the *final* template parameter,
since exponent types and ranges have been added as template
parameters.

So... is it the 3rd parameter, the 4th-to-last parameter...?
Whatever, but it's not the last.

Groovy big numbers!

Sincerely, Chris.

Yes, but I'm back now. I exaggerated the return date, just
in case of any big troubles with travel or return to work.
Caught some great scenery and king salmon up to 40 pounds.

cpp_bin_float is looking good to me! And I will keep working
with it and report anything significant.

Sincerely, Chris.

Done, thanks, John.

PS thought you were supposed to be gone fishing??  ;-)
