Subj: REPLY TO MSG #1938 (SCREEN HELP!)

Well, I tried changing it to a double, but it printed gibberish. I think the
"call 29744,0,VARPTR(B%(0))" requires that the varptr is integer, which sets
the max at 32768.  I tried double, and it printed total gibberish.  When I have
it set for integer, it works fine EXCEPT when it's over 32768.  So I read it as
single precision, if it's over 32768, I subtract it from 32768, making it
negative. This keeps my over 0's but under 32769's okay, but my over 32768's
aren't right. I still think it converts to negative, just have to figure out
how. I hate waiting, but I guess I'll have to.  <sigh> Oh, the woes of a brute
force programmer.. :-) :-) Well, I could write a routine that tries every
number from -32768 to 0 till I find it.  (assuming it's there.. :-)  But that'd
be a senseless waste of time.. sounds right up my alley.. :-) :-) TTYL dood 
Dr.D. P.S.  I changed my save routine to handle in doubles also, just in case..
