But if you must use the client for math, then take precautions, such as using long integer for addition, truncating and rounding all division results before any addition... etc.
I had a similar problem once reading into Pascal from dBase. The only way to get the correct result was to write some routines to do the things I mentioned above...
such as, x = round ( n / m * 100) / 100
(round to two decimal places)
