I can deal. >: 010.0 > 10. This bugs me. Actually, I later decided it didn't bug me _that_ much. I assume that without the leading '0' it works OK? -- that only decimally expressed numbers can be floating point? Thanks. I look forward to trying perl. -- If you do not receive a reply from me, please resend your mail; occasionally this site's mail gets delayed. Neither representing any company nor, necessarily, myself.
