Strange math behaviour... could someone explain this ?

[Lynch, Jonathan]

If you add in a line like this:

Put char 1 to -1 of C into C


then it forces Rev to use the proper number, rather than the
almost-but-not-quite proper number - but man, that has gotta slow things
down. Basically, that is forcing it to convert it from a number to text,
then back to a number. For mass calculations, that would be a real
problem.

But, it is another work-around

with Rev 2.5 on Mac OS9.1 the following
gives 180

  put 36 into A
  put 34.2 into B
  put A-B into C

  put C*100 into C
  put trunc(C)

but with Rev 2.5 Linux I still get 179...

so much for Xplatform compatibility :(
