That is part of the definition of NaN in the IEEE floating point standard. I highly recommend at least skimming http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html, "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating Point". NaN isn't equal to itself by convention, and this is actually a useful property in practice. -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
