================================================================ Dear Bug Team! string-to-int sometimes returns unsightly values which makes writing elisp functions that operate on tables of numbers very complicated if you want them to remain easy on the eyes. I'm not sure where the problem is: xemacs, os, compiler, cpu??? Any help would be appreciated: (string-to-int "8.180E-1") 0.8179999999999999 ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: SunOS buz.biostat.mcw.edu 5.9 Generic_118558-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4 configure '--with-mule' '--with-scrollbars=motif' '--with-dialogs=motif' '--with-widgets=motif' '--with-clash-detection=yes' '--cflags=-Os' '--with-sound=esd' '--native-sound-lib=/usr/local/lib/libao.so' XEmacs 21.4.19 "Constant Variable" configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.9'.
