Steve you should really write one of these. I'm sure it would be all that and a pound of bananas!
Seriously, Jack's approach I think is more along the lines of whatever the industry standard is... hex and bit flipping, etc. I haven't looked into that enough, but I went far enough with string math calculations to realize some operations just take too much time compared to the industry standard method. Now for accounting purposes, even with very large amounts, string math is great but probably not any faster than what runs online calculators.
