To pile on this, anyone who has ever tried to write cross-platform shells knows that the builtin math is not consistent. Back in the 1990's many people were also transitioning from 32 to 64 bit and got bit. Hence, you'll often see calls to bc for real math and portability (of sorts). Next you'll find that different OSes deliver different versions for various non-technical reasons. So just because you're running "bash" it doesn't mean you have all of the current features. Apple, I'm looking at you... -- richard ------------------------------------------ openzfs: openzfs-developer Permalink: https://openzfs.topicbox.com/groups/developer/T42f8147492666f65-Maf6912692830bfc594bd8d27 Delivery options: https://openzfs.topicbox.com/groups
