  13. hiya,
  14.     This stream seems to be never ending .... :-)
  15.  
  16.     My little bit is a routine that calculates log to any base using
  17. the full 15 digit internal precision.  The routine checks its arguments and
  18. it only works when given 2 real numbers (unlike the built in log functions
  19. which also accept complex numbers and symbolics).
  20.  
  21. To use this program enter the base into level 2 of the stack and the
  22. number you want the log of on level 1 and run the program.
  23.  
  24. e.g. Log 3 base 2, would be calculated as:
  25. 2 ENTER 3 LOGB        [ I call the program LOGB ]
  26.

  28. Here it is (nice and short): [ ASC format ]
