That's a long time to be without a computer !
Something I forgot to mention - the trig functions were down using valueOpKey lookup tables which I calculated in a spreadsheet.
For the sine and cosine I found 5 degree steps from 0 to 180 were enough (interpolation is linear).
For the arcsine and arctangent I arranged the key/value pairs so that the keys would give values of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc through to 87, 88, and 89 (and 90 for arcsine) - I stopped at 89 for arctangent because tangent(a) tends to infinity as a tends to 90.
For other projects different ranges and/or step sizes may be required.
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident. And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU or something else.
