The IEEE spec absolutely thinks that -0 and +0 are distinct entities. I don't remember why, at one in the morning ... but if you insist I'm sure that plenty sufficient numerical-analysis reasons can be produced. The guys who wrote that spec knew what they were doing (that's why it's been adopted so universally). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
