That's all good for rounding intermediate numbers in a calculation but the OP was trying to round for display. In this case whatever rounding function u use has to output a string consistent with human rounding principles. Floating point numbers that a machine uses internally have no real relation to the real numbers that humans use. And the conversion is lossy. -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede malis" 00000100 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
