Should it, though? Although it would be pretty convienient, I think that handling scientific notation would be an unnecessary complication for IMCC, and it would be better handled by the compilers that target it. (As in, the compiler converts scientific notation to decimal form during compilition to IMCC code.) -- This message was sent using 3wmail. Your fast free POP3 mail client at www.3wmail.com
