Alex, you may be asking 'too much print precision' on your display, eg:

decimal=:-<.
9!:11 ]14

decimal 5.1 5.2
0.1 0.2
9!:11 ]15

decimal 5.1 5.2
0.0999999999999996 0.2
9!:11 ]16

decimal 5.1 5.2
0.09999999999999964 0.2000000000000002

You may need to use fmt (8!: x) to produce a specified format to avoid  
the system rounding display.
