I'm not certain if the "nekkid decimal point" (as one list member put it) is
our convention, or just laziness on the part of Oracle. MS Visual Basic, at
least on this side of the pond, also allows this sloppiness. Since we Yanks
insist on that tiny "." for a decimal point, we should ^never^ tolerate
something like ".237", which so easily can be read as "237" instead of
"0.237".
But that ground has been cover here before...
