Suppose variable adjustment is a power of 2. Then only the exponent component of the floating point value will change. All arithmetic will be the same except for an offset in the exponent. Add 1 to a large number and you will see you still have the problem. > I first came across this sort of problem in AppleSoft Basic on my > Apple II, Apple II?

I think it would be nice if it would distance you until until you really need the low level (as in file, TCP or serial I/O in some cases); then it should give you the low-level tools.
