Hi Eddy,

I introduced them because I demanded highest accuracy from the start, 
not because I had proof Double_t wasn't enough.

Not if I can never finish.  In that case all I will reap is 
unemployment.  But the Windows results are *really* different and 
non-sensical, so I can't just push ahead.

I made my 'port to Windows, omitting the TMatrixQ because of statments 
like yours.  Now I see differences.  All the rest of the code is as 
close to the same as possible.  Once I finish implementing I will see if 
the results are then the same.  If so, that will be the example you 
want, but it's proprietary and I can't provide it.  If it is still not 
the same, then I'll look elsewhere. 

In the event I can finger the accuracy as a source of my problem, I'm 
sure I can put together a public example that highlights the problem.  
But not today.
