In the last paragraph of my posting on preicision yesterday, I wrote
> For -double-, 52 binary digits are assigned to the significand,

The paragraph should read,
For -double-, 52 binary digits are assigned to the significand,
and thus the largest integer-valued double not subject to rounding
is (2^53)-1 = 9,007,199,254,740,991, which means 15.95 digits.
