changed NumQuads to 100 and did "pi.bat >pi.txt". Gave me a 2215521 line txt file. 50.9MB. lol. gotta love batch files. 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482133936072602491412737245870066063155881748815209209628292540917153643678925903600113305305488204665213841469

Hi David, this is the author of pi.bat. Did you by any chance define either of the environment variables "talk" or "PiDebug"? That would cause the batch file to spew lots of output. Just curious what you saw in this huge amount of output. I ran it with NumQuads=100. Here is what I see:

So I came across this awesome work while looking for a way to get the decimal part of division in batch files (since SET /A only deals with whole numbers.)
But I've been unsuccessful in getting the lifted DivideByInteger block to work. Any hints?
Admin
can someone please tell me a way I can make this code produce a growing string of pi? I want to make something like a matrix of some assortment for no particular reason.

cool
