Sorry for asking such naive questions.
Does some of you know a trick to easily calculate with dates being far away in the past and the future ? If they are converted into seconds, one is limited to a century, coarsely from 1935 to 2037...
I would also like to find a clear explanation about how the "string numbers" are converted internally for computation in Revolution. I read old discussions in the archives, but I'm still in the mist . What is (are) the exact binary format(s) ? And how does Revolution decides which one to use if we do not coerce the number with a ^1 or a round function or sometihing like that ?
Last but not least: which RNG is used behind the random function ? Some are said to be good, most are worse, and some are reputedly mere catastrophes...
Many thanks in advance
Jacques
PS: I like this list with its sudden bursts of dramatic tension... it's just a pity I have so few time to read it!
