You have to remember that floating point math is done in base 2, but your are
inputing your numbers in base 10.
Another weired thing to keep in mind is that the default precision in Tcl has
changed in Tcl 8.5, so some answers are now different than they were in 8.4.
Another thing to keep in mi

That is not a bad idea, provided you have some documentation prepared
for AOLServer.
It will not do anyone any good to have a fun, free application if they
cannot figure out how to install the software.
The documentation does not have to be absolutely comprehensive. How

Yuck. Okay, so is there any practical work-around for getting X.XX5 to
consistently round up? I suppose I could do something like add
0.001 to any number that I'm rounding, but that seems pretty sloppy.
Is there a best practice for dealing with this?

It does explain it, but still results are not obvious :)
For example, this code:
===
set bn [set rn 0]
for {set i 0} {$i < 1000} {incr i} {
set f "${i}.005"
set r [format %.2f $f]
set d [expr $r - $i]
if {$d > 0.0} {
incr bn
} else {
incr rn
}
}
puts
The plot thickens:
% format %.2f 18.0051
18.01
No ideas, though.
