But wait, it gets even weirder!
If you do the following, to make sure there's no chance of the two
strings acting as numeric:
VAL1 = "43008E-112": ""
and
VAL2 = "43008E-108":""
the program still fails. When you REALLY make sure you're doing a string
compare with
IF (VAL1:"" = VAL2:"") THEN
it STILL FAILS!
Oh well, I guess U2 has a mind of its own with regard to string compare. Note
that the string compare works OK on most generic Pick platforms.
