hi, all

I am wondering if there is a way to do arbitrary precision calculation
with IDL. Recently I noticed some of my previous calculation was not
matching the theory simply because some of the round off errors
inherited from gamma function evaluation etc. I tried python module
mpmath and the results were just spot-on. But I really don't wanna
rewrite the whole thing in python. Any suggestions?

Regards,
fkey
