[Still OT] Confession time: after asking this question, I had a sneaking suspicion that it was a stupid one.
From watching yourself and others work on it over the years, I've come to the conclusion that there are *no* stupid questions when it comes to float rounding.
If anyone was looking for a field absolutely rife with answers that are "simple, obvious and dead wrong", avoiding cumulative errors in binary float manipulation would have to be a prime candidate. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
