A small check on whether the number is negative might be worthwhile?
That only makes it a bit more complex I imagine.

In this case it's hardly necessary. By my knowledge 2 is not negative
until proven otherwise.

An ill-phrased question.  

My  http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/programs/longcalc.pas  can do square-
roots, of integers up to a thousand or more digits (bases 2..16) - but
it is 1416 lines, and I don't want to pay to upload it when you can
fetch it from that URL - and perhaps you don't want 1416 lines.

i^2 = -1
SQRT(-1) = i;
