Hi Charlie,

Kerry mentioned his experiences, which closely match my own, but I think
Franco just spoke to that very question:
"VOID can't be used at the right of a comparison operator without
getting a value. This value is zero. I'd suggest you use voidP()
to check out if a var is void."

That is, if Director follows the "ANSI/IEEE 754
standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic"  :0)

I think I will just keep using voidP(), as nobody seems to have any problems
with that, although it just adds another element to any logical conditional
statement that I do where the variable is not guaranteed to exist.

HTH,
Mathew
