Continuation Symbol No Longer Supported?

Hi there, I'm upgrading an older piece from D6.5 to D8.5 and running into more growing pains. Whereever I have conintuation symbols (Option-L/Alt-enter) in my code, the lingo will not compile. I see that the script window can soft wrap, it's just a bummer to have to search and destroy all the

Steven, You might want to check out the latest version of Kent Kersten's FileXtra3. http://kblab.net/xtras/ UNC volume names are now supported, which means you you can test for the presence of a network volume without mapping it to a drive letter. set f = new( xtra "filextra3" ) set netVolumeE

Thank you, Buzz! You're right. We did try the mod function, but it failed on floats in D6. Appearently this is fixed in D8. The project will be moved to director 8, soon. D6.5: - set f = 1144608783851.0 put f/2 -- 572304391925.5000 -- (big odd number) put f mod 2 -- 0 D8: --- f = 114460

Re: Finding If a _huge_ float is divisible by a number

2001-07-17 Thread Cole Tierney
What a coincedence. A coworker of mine just asked me a similar question. In this case we have a huge float (greater than maxinteger) and need to know if it is evenly divisable by 2. We can not truncate the result, since it won't fit into an integer. We'll probably fall back on converting to a
