This old chestnut! It's a common problem in practice. As I recall, the behaviour of C's % operator allows implementations to yield either behaviour. I just checked ISO 9899:1999 which defines fmod. It specifies that the result of fmod(x,y) should have the same sign as x. Interesting. cheers, T. -- Thomas Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
