I remember a thread from here a while back discussing the various
idiosyncrasies of floating point

it seems
Something odd is happening there
If you do this:
cfset cents = 995
cfoutput
#FIX(cents)#
/cfoutput
you get the expected result. eg: 995
The only thing that springs to mind is that maybe:
9.95 * 100 = 994. ?
not sure how to prove this theory tho...

I've got no first hand experience in this, but have a flip thru the
archives.

Steve use Ceiling(number) instead, much better than Fix()
