Thank you, Buzz! You're right.
We did try the mod function, but it failed on floats in D6.
Appearently this is fixed in D8. The project will be moved to director 8, soon.
D6.5:
-----
set f = 1144608783851.0
put f/2
-- 572304391925.5000 -- (big odd number)
put f mod 2
-- 0
D8:
---
f = 1144608783851.0
put f/2
-- 572304391925.5000 -- (same big odd number)
put f mod 2
-- 1
Yeah!
Thanks again,
Cole
