Well, I understood the distinction between wide_int and widest_int. I just didn't understand what pdist did. :-) The difference is documented (a bit verbosely) in wide-int.h. Does anyone have any suggestions for a better name than "wide_int" though? The main property of wide_int is that it has a variable precision, whereas widest_int and offset_int have constant precisions. Thanks, Richard
