-why- is this a problem though? Sure it is a bug, but why were you testing for it? To me, it sounds a little like the Excel bug that appeared a few months back, here some forumulas resulting in 65,535 would appear as 100,000.
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/09/26b.html Yes it is a bug, but it only happens in 12 out of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 possible floating point binary numbers. So really it isn't as sever are you would think. -- funkstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40409 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
