On Page 48 (fourth paragraph from the bottom) of the "C for Yourself"
manual, it states that a long double has 19 digits of precision. This
statement is incorrect.
A long double has 15 digits of precision and is the same as a double
in the current implementation. The same error occurs on the following
page (Page 49) under Table 4.1.
