Thanks a lot. You have provided me with a very clean code that does
its job well.
As I was working with Long_Float precision I was tempted to believe
that floating-point
accumulation errors wouldn't have such an adverse effect. Apart that,
I wasn't thinking very
much of using the For loop instead with its unity increment (I come
from a Matlab background).

When writing a For loop, I read that it's good practice to put e.g.
For I in Range 1..300  as
just putting For I in 1..300 will not tell the compiler what kind of
number representation it must
have for the numbers 1 and 300.


Thanks again.
YC
