You shouldn't use (binary) floats for many *accounting* purposes, but for many financial/econometric analyses, floats are de rigeur and work much better than decimals (either floating or fixed point). If you are collecting gigs of stock prices, you are much more likely to be doing the latter than the former. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
