two (stupid) questions

[Alessandro Languasco <languasc@math.unipd.it>]

Dear all,

I'm writing a pari/gp script and I have two problems that,
for sure, are described and solved in the User's Guide.... but I wasn't
able to find a solution there.... so I'm asking for your help.
Thanks in advance !

1) I would like to save the results of the gp-script on a file but  
using just
a part of the avalible decimal digits; i.e. I'm computing the results
with 100 decimal digits but I would like that just the first
25 are saved on the file in TeX format. I think that
some suffix has to be added to the writetex(namefile, result)
istruction, but which one ?

2) In my script I have two parts: a precomputation and
a final part. I would like to be able to know the computation time for
both of them but it is not clear to me
how to use the timer in a script.

Thank you again.

Best Regards,
Alessandro Languasco
