@Jack
6 seconds for 5000 iterations? I mean I know I bought my computer used from a guy named F. Flintstone, but I wouldn't have thought the difference would b that great. on faster systems. I figured most of you guys would be able to run 5000 loops in around 15 - 20 seconds.

Now working with pi and found one more bug, which didn't affect all of the sqrt calcs, amazingly enough.
Before the DO:LOOP that uses the counter h&& = h&& + s begins, I added...
IF LEN(a$) < LEN(b$) THEN SWAP a$, b$
The loop takes care of some calculation where the VAL() drops leading zeros, but to do so properly, the fist variable a$ of a$ and b$ variables, must always be the longest string, or at lease equal in length for that leading zero conversion from VAL() to STR() to work properly.
I have edited the last post with this statement addition.
It looks like I lost a couple of seconds in the process. Oh well, fast and accurate beats faster and wrong.

Faster addition in string math. Now with multiplication!
