Er, then what's a mantissa if it's not what people call a float's mantissa? What makes you say it is "more properly" known as the significand? I'm not necessarily disputing what you say, I'm wondering what is your justification for it. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
