I with David on this one.
I reported a bug in 4D's math libraries back in v2.3 (this would have
been 1993 or 1994 I think).
it had to do with small values and comparison with zero. Very small
real values (even when not zero), were in a comparison = zero.
It has been fixed in v13, I do not recall if it was fixed in v11.
test code:
C_REAL($x)
$x:=1.2*(10^-11)
Case of
: ($x=0)
ALERT("=zero")
: ($x<0)
ALERT("<zero")
Else
ALERT("> zero")
End case
