|Still hoping someone will write a routine to print/display |large |and very small numeric values in a readable way; I can read |'9,876,543,210.00' but not 9.87653954E9 :( The FPU on a Q40 can produce numbers up to about 24 significant digits in BCD format. I used that to print FP numbers of up to that size. An integer held as a QL variable is restricted to 2^31 (or so). Thus the number 9876543210 can only be held in the QL in fp format. But the mantissa is not long enough to hold all 10 digits so you could never expect to print them all. However, it is quite easy to print as many significant digits as are available, and with preceding or succeeding zeroes (as many as you like) to replace the rather nasty 34E40 notation. I'm sure I have done this in the past, but never thought it worth while publishing it! George ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Simon Goodwin did something in the DIY Toolkit. Or just write an assmbler routine to do 32 bit numbers.

Re: [ql-users] Enhanced Pop
The Hinting article was excellent. Thank you very much for that. I hope to use hinting in my programs next year, now that I know how to! Where hinting excells is in programs which make heavy use of icons (e.g. QD) which you don't use often enough to get to know what they do. Rest the pointer over the icon for a little while and the 'help' bubble (or 'hint') magically appears to tell you in *words* what that icon does. -- Dilwyn Jones - Original Message - From: P Witte [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 25, 2005 10:04 AM Subject: [ql-users] Enhanced Pop In the unlikely event that anyone was hoping to download the slightly more enhanced version of Pop (as advertised in my recent QLT article on Hinting from S*Basic programs) Im sorry to have to disappoint you: Im not currently able to access my Knoware site to update it. I shall relocate as soon as I can. In the mean time, if you want this routine, please write me directly to obtain a copy by email.
