Ron, it is nearly useless to try to remove this because it all is a result
of the macro DBL. If a platform defines it to float you get different
problems. If you add explicit type casts it will even be dangerous for other
platforms: You force the compiler to convert the type and if the platform
does not support native double precision floating point values, it will
rsult in much slower execution.
