In poking around, I discovered that the RexxGTK code makes pretty extensive use of float because the underlying toolkit use float. That's certainly a good reason to keep that support there. Rick On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 7:38 AM, Mark Miesfeld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rick, > > I'll take some

H, if the code that defines the external functions/methods needed are placed in a separate file, then the testGroup setup routine could use .context~package~loadPackage('commonApis.cls") Which has the effect of being a ::REQUIRES load that's deferred until run time. That should allow the

Since we're starting to get API tests written, I thought I'd do an audit of the various integer types we expose in the APIs and make sure they were still matching the original intent. I believe they are still correct, but we might want to consider renaming a couple and potentially adding some addi
