Hi Mark,
I've written a class named 'fixed' with portions adopted from
Tim Peter's FixedPoint.py, but a slightly different constructor
(no default precision; precision calculated from given value,
if no precision given) and some additional functions.
Find fixedpoint.py enclosed and use it if you like.
Cheers,
Michael
