/* "pi.c", program for computing digits of numerical value of PI.
   Author: Aubrey Jaffer

pi <n> <d> prints out <n> digits of pi in groups of <d> digits.

'Spigot' algorithm origionally due to Stanly Rabinowitz.
This algorithm takes time proportional to the square of <n>/<d>.
This fact can make comparisons of computational speed between systems
of vastly differring performances quicker and more accurate.

Try: pi 100 5
The digit size <d> will have to be reduced for larger <n> or an
error due to overflow will occur. */
