Re: TIB: dec>frac


>frac doesn't work with anything besides disp.  so no outputs will do.

the only think i can figure out is to somehow find the numerator and
denominator of the fraction and use seperate outputs to put them on
the screen in the right place.  well, you would have to add another
output to get the division bar, but this might be the only way to do
what you want.
