- Well? Does anyone know of a quick and dirty way to get a reasonably accurate
- square root of a fixed point integer number? My numbers are stored in a 16.16
- bit format. I've heard of a few ways, but I'm open for ideas. I just want to
- keep on avoiding floating point for ethical reasons. 8^)

- Thanks.
