Get Your Numbers Right
April 8, 2008:
My email at gregl@gregl.net has been
bouncing. I apologize for the inconvenience for those of you who tried to email
me recently. Until the problem is fixed or I switch providers, you can reach me
at greglove@oz.net. I've updated all email
links here.

After over four years using Digital Candle as my
payment provider, I have switched to PayPal.
The reason for the switch is because I discovered today that Digital Candle has gone out of business. They did not tell me; instead, PrecisionCalc customers started seeing the message "We apologize for any inconvenience, but our system is temporarily down for maintenance" when trying to buy xlPrecision. When Digital Candle's system still wasn't back up after a while, and my emails to them went unanswered, and I couldn't get through to a real person by phone, I searched newsgroups for posts about them and learned what the real problem was.
I apologize for the inconvenience to those of you who tried to buy xlPrecision during that time. If you continue to have any trouble ordering xlPrecision, please let me know. You do not need to have a PayPal account to buy xlPrecision through PayPal.

xlPrecision version 2.1 is now available on request. Version 2.1 adds
high-precision Poisson, including both cumulative and
non-cumulative Poisson. The free edition will be updated to version 2.1 as
soon as I have time. xlpPOISSON works the same as Excel's POISSON
function, except that it adds optional arguments to allow specifying the number
of significant digits and specifying whether you want the return value to be in
scientific notation. In addition to the high-precision return value, the input
numbers (target_num and average_num) can also be high-precision numbers if
desired.
