Fabs? What are those? I found a fabs in my float.h once, never did see it
again. I think it was for finding absolute values. :-)

I guess I have to make a guess here. A .18 fab is...

* A nasty hypervelocity rifle with small caliber but potent slugs,
  hopefully in a Quake type game and not being manufactured in a
  black market weapons factory in the Middle East.
* A version of a program. A very very very very beta version.
* A very small something-or-other with which you something-or-other
  your something-or-other in order to achieve something-or-other.

Which of these is correct? :-)
