I would agree, if this is about "bloatware", but this is a completely different case. We talk about a more accurate method, which is too expensive for your application at the moment. However, progress will make it affordable for more and more problems and eventually for your application, too. Now let me also pour some oil into the fire: How disgraceful is a replacement by a less accurate solution and how about the grace to implement your own solution ;-) Michael _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
