Thanks for everyone's help. I found a pretty easy way to find the log10. I'll just going to scale the numbers to between 0 and 1/2 (the spec has changed since my first post). Then use 3.33*(sqrt(sqrt(x))-3 That should be just enough accuracy, considering that I am only dealing with four decimal places. This also works for numbers between 0 and 1 in case anyone is interested; I didn't bother to test anything beyond that. I hope this helps other people.
