Is fixed point types a really hard to solve issue ? Even before I knew A=
da  =

and its fixed point type, I used something similar on an old PC where  =

there was no floating point unit. I though about a way to re-interpret  =

integers, which is finally close to what fixed points are (this was for =
a  =

tiny 3D application). I did not get into real troubles with this.
