> I’m still a little unclear about exactly what is going on here. Because you are NOT comparing numbers. You are comparing (like sorting) text. That usually means: the FIRST CHAR of each string. (The ASCII/ANSI/etc values of those chars.) > put “7.foo” < 9 -- returns “true” Because "7" < "9". > put “77.foo” < 9 -- returns “true” Because "7" < "9". (FIRST CHAR) I just looked at WordLib's code: it's already coded correctly! Ready for LC version 10 or LC 1000. (Going way back, I was already cautious about these dotted-version comparisons.)
