*** Smalltalk/V Mac version 1.1; MacOS 6.05 *** On my Mac SE/30 at work and my Mac+ at home, both of the Float instance methods "exponent" and "significand" cause 'Float invalid operation' walkbacks to appear. These are both primitive methods. The last "bug" I found turned out to be some "junk methods" left in for "compatibility" with ST/V 286. However, the methods above do not seem like they should fall in this category. Anyone know of a fix? Is a complete bug list for ST/V Mac available anywhere? Thanks in advance, Mark -- Mark S.

I have nearly given up using ST/V Mac because of the bugs -- on a Mac Plus, you can't even divide an integer by a negative integer without getting garbage. Some of these bugs have been known about for well over a year, and no maintainance releases. Either they prefer to support IBM platforms, or they don't support anything very well. -- Russell owen@raven.phys.washington.edu
