I'm trying to implement decimal arithmetic in (La)TeX. I'm trying to use dimens to store the values. I want the arithmetic to be exact to some (fixed) number of decimal places. If I use 1pt as my base unit, then this fails, because \divide rounds down, so 1pt / 10 gives 0.09999pt. If I use something like 1000sp as my base unit, then ...
