[Javier Valencia]

Mike: This issue was discussed in detail a while back and I was under the impression that it has been corrected. Are you using the latest patch?

SET V v1 CURRENCY = 11 SET V v2 REAL = .83 SET V v3 CURRENCY SET V v3 = (.v1 * .v2 * 1.5)   produces $13.69.    Shouldn’t that round up to $13.70?    I could rewrite the software using all real numbers, and convert at the end, but shouldn’t I get the same result?   Mike Sinclair
