I.e. for 3.14, allow any rational number in [3.14,3.15), or perhaps (3.135,3.145]? Or restrict it to just the rational number in range with the least total digits? -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
