[REBOL] Money Trouble? Re:(2)
Small fractions of the money datatype are now correctly rounded to two digits. Properly when dealing with money it is best to use Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) math. This removes all rounding issues. On the other hand if your writing the accounting program put all of the junk below $00.01 in to a accumulating account, and make a with drawl from it after about a year. :-)
[REBOL] REBOL international Re:(4)
What would be really interesting is to be able to do REBOL right to left in Arabic, Urdu or Sindhi. [l'empreinte Druck stampa impressão impresión] is all very well for all you LtoR types but what about the rest of the known world? I guess if you want to type from right to left you could maybe get an editor that does that, then set the words in your language with letters in reverse order. Are there any such editors? Anton.

[l'empreinte Druck stampa impressão impresión] is all very well for all you LtoR types but what about the rest of the known world? Bruce. Ummm... all we are doing here is redefining the 'print' function word... I would think left to right has nothing to do with printing, only about how it is read after being printed. Actually, next I want to look at translating REBOL functions into Japanese Kanjii characters. Now THAT should be interesting. --Ralph Roberts
[REBOL] nntp limited by date Re:
I would like to use the nntp.r protocol to retrieve messages from a newsgroup limited by date. Is there any way to do this with nntp.r? -Ryan Sure. Read up on using nntp.r's xhdr functionality. You can retrieve just the date headers of a given news group and then determine which range of messages you want before downloading them. -jeff
[REBOL] Money Trouble?
Hi folks, Over the weekend I was playing with the REBOL money! datatype and discovered some problems. Using the REBOL/Core console: x: $10 == $10.00 y: x + .01 == $10.01 y - x == $0.00 ;surprising result, displayed value is not correctly rounded We can check what is happening by retreiving the decimal value from the money values: dx: second x == 10 dy: second y == 10.01 dy - dx == 9.79E-3 ;this is the actual numeric value of y - x, it should round to .01 The problem seems to be incorrect or absent rounding of the difference: to-money dy - dx == $0.00 Checking when to-money will return .01 vs .00: a: to-money "9.99934E-3" == $0.00 b: to-money "9.99935E-3" == $0.01 Clearly both of these values should round to $.01. There some other anomalies also: (y - x) * 1.01 == $0.00 (y - x) * 1.1 == $0.01 (y - x) * 10;displayed result is wrong by a factor of ten == $0.01 (y - x) * 100 ;displayed result is correct == $1.00 These problems are not due to the round-off intrinsic to decimal values. Even in the worst case we have 15 significant digits of precision. The example shows incorrect rounding in the 4th significant digit. I wonder whether others have noticed this problem? Note: this has been CC'd to feedback as a bug. Cheers Larry
[REBOL] Freenet Protocol help needed, was closing port within protocol Re:(2)
Hi Gabriele, back home, and giving it a try soon ... thank you! Those were the words of [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED]! ... I think there's no point in using open-proto here, since proxy support would need some work below too... anyway, I'm no expert here, so... :-) I just looked into root-protocol, and found 'open / 'open-proto were the same, so I thought it'd be a bright idea, to call 'open-proto, and add my changes in 'open. ... I think you can return answer here too (even if returning data from insert is not consistent with other protocols) Was thinking about this, too. Well actually write may behave like read in freenet protocol (right now), when trying to add a key, that's already in the system ... And by the way, has anyone written an SHA1 algorithm in Rebol? Current protocol will use encoded keys ... thanks again, Ingo -- _ ._ ingo@)|_ /| _| _ We ARE all ONE www._|_o _ _ ._ _ www./_|_) |o(_|(/_ We ARE all FREE ingo@| |(_|o(_)| (_| http://www.2b1.de/Rebol/ ._| ._|
