Whether that difference means they are not the same number depends on how you define "number". I would have defined "representing the same number" by correspondence to the reals. YMMV. In any case, my question is, does there exist any similar operational difference between decimal floating point values that are considered to be in the same cohort? If not, then I back Sam's proposal without compareTotal(). -- Cheers, --MarkM
