Well, you could try to update all the internal data types within the Symbol SDK 2.0 manually, but I'm not sure how Symbol would feel about that. I don't see anything in the source that says "Don't modify", so I'd post the question to the Symbol forum and see if John Duhart over at Symbol can

RE: Serious Palm FloatNumber problem

2000-09-19 Thread Michael S. Davis
I think you are missing something here. It is a fact that not ALL floating point numbers can be represented precisely in the 64 bits allowed. As a result of this, you will always have round of errors. Whenever you display a number in the same precision of the stored value, you will run the

What (simply defined) is a segment? A multi-segment app? How do I make one with GCC? I know that to make apps bigger than 64k, I have to make different segments, each less than 64k themselves. Is there a better (or simpler) way to make apps bigger than 64 (in total size, including the source
