From the RatDemo\Readme.txt file
Open and compile rational.sln. Running the RatDemo.exe program should
make things sufficiently clear. The DemoForm also contains all tests
I've run.
Two books (one by Jeffrey Richter) mention a rational numbers class
when discussing implicit and explicit conversions, but do not provide
an implementation of the class.
I thought it would be interesting to write an actual implementation,
which it was.
The range of rational numbers that can be represented by just
two integers (m/n) is somewhat limited, but within this range
things should work quite well.
