I was cleaning up an old HDD and found this from 1995.
In August 1995, the calculation of pi up to 4,294,960,000 decimal digits
was succeeded by using a supercomputer at the University of Tokyo. The
program was written by D.Takahashi and he collaborated with Dr. Y.Kanada
at the computer center, the University of Tokyo. This record should be
the current world record. ( Details is shown in the windows help. )
This record-breaking program was ported to personal computer environment
such as Windows NT and Windows 95. In order to calculate 33.55 million
digits, it takes within 3 days with Pentium 90MHz, 40MB main memory and
340MB available storage.
The software is free and the circulation of program is also free!
Obviously the code will not use some of the newer commands available to the cpu but I quite like the fact the program will STILL run in windows XP and 7.
