I know that the result isn't far off, but why didn't it round up to
17.7674749?
It's actually wrong:
st> ('17.7674748999999' asNumber = Var1)!
false
st> ('17.7674749000000' asNumber = Var1)!
true
Now that fast LargeIntegers are part of the system it's actually
possible to write a better (and still simple) algorithm to print floats.
