Of course. But the result of "format" is user-oriented. User is not supposed to know about negative zero, denormal numbers, negative infinity and the whole IEEE 754. If the user is supposed to understand that "-0.000" means "a small negative number", then it's ok. If the user will be terrified, it would be bad. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
