                       Pascal Decimal Math Information

         Paragon Software Corporation's Pascal Decimal Math routines were
written to make programming business functions possible and easy for I.B.M.'s
(tm) Pascal Compiler V1.0. The Pascal data type INTEGER lacks enough
significant digits to make it useful to represent large dollar amounts and type
REAL may round off the least significant 6th or 7th digit causing a loss of
acurracy. Decimal math corrects both these problems. Up to 15 digit numbers may
be manipulated accurately since they are represented and operated upon using
base 10 numbers rather than base 2. Also, one routine provides for the
conversion of numbers to strings via a controlling mask so that reports and
displays may be easily created showing numbers conforming to familiar business
representation such as comma insertion, trailing minus signs, CR for negative
numbers, etc.
