I'm not sure this reason from 1996 is still relevant, but FWIW: Originally, there were drawing-related `float' computations in C code that I wanted to replicate exactly in Racket (ok, MzScheme). Eventually, I solved my specific consistency problem by changing the C code to use `double's; in other cases, someone might not be free to change the calculation. _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
