This is a small calculator to compute decimal exansions of pi and e.
Only elementary arithmetic is used (Machen's formula along with Taylor
polynomials for arctan(x) for pi; the continued fraction for e), so 
the speed is not affected by presence or lack of fpu.  The authour
is more impressed with the speed than the reviewer is.

An option after computation is to plot a histogram of the digits 
found in the expansion.

The program does not require FPU, and it runs on older macs as well as
PowerMacs.  It appears to be 32 bit clean. Testing was done using sys7.1.
