Sorry if this is an FAQ, but how does one do floating point math in zsh?
Is it possible at all? Do I have to code up some int->fp shell routines?

Continuing his curious quest to use zsh for everything...

Nobody has added any support yet. On the other hand, there's no
fundamental difficulty adding a `float' type to go along with
`integer'. I suppose most people use perl when it comes to that.
