I'm biased, so it's hard for me to assess validity. The most valid flak was, of course, that it would break backwards compatibility in a big way. Also, you could no longer write straightforward programs that do some long-winded computation and afterwards make a decision based on whether the result is inexact or not. I've personally never seen such a program. -- Cheers =8-} Mike Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-dev
