Said, Yeah, I meant to mention that. You really just need to parse on the commas and then figure out what was in between them. I have seen 2, 3, 4, and 5 place precision on varying receivers. I have to laugh at the marketing weenie who thought 5 place precision would help him sell standard, non-differential positioning receivers. Actually, advertising 5 place precision probably DID sell units to the technically challenged.

They hard-coded the parsing routine to be "stupid" enough to always expect 4 digits, and it crashes when they receive 5 digits of precision... bye, Said _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
