DOUBLEPRECISION and into DECIMAL. I would like to know if there are any freely available scripts out there that include
ArbitraryPrecision mathematical functions support that work on DECIMAL and not on DOUBLE PRECISION, that do not produce
anyerror values around key inputs? Could someone refer me to a website that has a script that is such? 

This is the wrong mailing list for this type of thing.

I suggest you review the answers that you've already received to these
questions in the general mailing list.  They all look like general
questions to me.

If you're not happy with the answers you get there, then see if you
can get someone to expand on the existing answer or provide further
details that might help them help you.

Ignoring everyone that's tried to help you is likely not a good way
for you to obtain the help you need.
