Re: Board header

Yes Ivan, that is an improvement. The two boards were a bit inconsistent, which was (a mild) inconvenience. I have another point: In various parts of our documentation there are links to the two documents "CP-New.pdf" & "CP-Lang.pdf". These are part of the normal BlackBox dis...

Re: ENTIER / Math.Floor bug

On reflection I think a change is probably not required.

I was reading too much into the phrase "This function is identical to ENTIER ...". It is also slower!.

Re: About the identifier behind the number

I think it is a bug.

The Language report says:
"Blanks and line breaks ... are essential to separate two consecutive symbols."

Re: ENTIER / Math.Floor bug

Thanks for the helpful explanation. My mistake was thinking: Most CP REAL functions/operations work to the internal 80-bit accuracy In fact, as stated in Platform-Specific-Issues, REAL functions return 80-bit results, but they DO round their inputs, which I had forgotten. Should we change the Docu f...

ENTIER / Math.Floor bug

Below I have a program and printout. I expect ENTIER and Math.Floor to do the same thing numerically, but ENTIER gives the answer 94906267 and the Math.Floor gives 94906268.0. I don't think this has a reasonable explanation in terms of rounding or TYPE ranges. The Math Docu says they are identical, ...

Re: How to move a BlackBox document view to the second monit

In order to use the BB menu, can press F2, duplicate a sub window to edit, it's a normal MDI window, synchronized with the popup That's a good solution for me - works well. Sometimes (not always!) when I focus the child, then drag it over the main BlackBox window, it goes behind rather than in fron...

Re: How to move a BlackBox document view to the second monit

@Robert I modified it, You can give it a try; Still not ideal! I've done very few tests, but: 1 - The Attributes menu does not work; I could not set some selected text to red. 2 - Sometimes (not always!) when I focus the child, then drag it over the main BlackBox window, it goes behind rather than ...
