The strange behaviour undelying this issue is that every parameer is declared Real in C language. Tcl is used to build the GUI that allows the program users to alter the default values, if desired, in a friendly way. For some reson to me unknown (I've never used Tcl before) Tcl regards the Real numbers as Integers.... This is just my diagnosis .. I maight be wrong ...
In general, a compiler may use any size of "real" it wants - I mean the compiler designer may, not you. But, as procesors nowdays include real math operations (the old coprocesor of the intel x86 series), they use one or several of the "real" types the procesor handles. As I haven't done much programming in Linux, I don't know what types are available, but 32 bits seems a smallish real to me. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEPNNltTMYHG2NR9URAn2jAJ9Agos4HZXE5sasbd4GEiruhmSWegCcC/6l owqWRPmblqX/fRX+Pej93JY= =sQGA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
