I did the original change to make negative integers use just LOAD_CONST, but I don't think I changed what was generated for float literals. That could be my memory going bad, though. The code changed several times as people with more numeric-fu that myself fixed all sorts of border cases. I've tried really hard to stay away from the code generator since then. :-) -Fred -- Fred L.
