>From Robert Tweed, NOT my work ( much thanks BTW ) : -------------------------------------------------- on floor( x ) intX = bitOr( x, 0 ) if( x = intX ) then return intX else if( x > 0 ) then return intX else return intX - 1 end on ceil( x ) intX = bitOr( x, 0 ) if( x = intX ) then return intX else if( x > 0 ) then return intX + 1 else return intX end on roundUp( x ) intX = bitOr( x, 0 ) if( x = intX ) then return intX else if( x > 0 ) then return intX + 1 else return intX - 1 end on truncate( x ) return bitOr( x, 0 ) end ---------------------------------------------------- HTH Chris.
