Hi, I have encountered strange problem: on Windows NT4.0 platform, with 'Regional Settings' set to "Dutch and HP LaserJet 5M selected as a default printer, using "hard coded" decimal numbers in Director 8.0 causes "Script error" with error message "Number expected"!!! Just typing command "put 1.4" inside 'Message Window' would produce this error. I did some tests and discovered that problem does not occur if 'Reg.Settings' are set to "English". With any other print driver I could check, everything worked just fine, even if Reg.Set. were turned to 'Dutch'!!! Clearly, the problem was in "decimal symbol interpretation", when numbers were hard-coded. (Command "put float(1)/2" correctly returned "0.5000"). If someone here on the list had similar problem and found solution for it (other than "Replace hard-coded decimals with expressions: instead of '3,14' use 'float(314)/100' " -- it is to late for that one...), please share it with us :)).
