   This is an XFCN for HyperCard to simplify radicals by extracting perfect
squares from the radicand and bringing them out as factors of the
radical.  For example, 50 sqrt(18) is rewritten as 150 sqrt(2).  (Actual
radicals are used with the appropriate font,  rather than "sqrt".)

   The program requires FPU, but it runs without problem on a PowerMac with
SoftwareFPU installed.
