Take a look at ti86ops.inc and ti86math.inc.
Another alternative would be to use a table, which would probably be
quicker... You could create a table of tangents that either stores 1000*tan
x as a word, or stores a 10 byte real (but then, you'd be back to using
f.p's...). I'm not sure how to go about using 1000*tan x in word format, but
it should be quicker if you can think of a way...
