[comp.sys.mac] Strange troubles...

heath@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu (Todd Heatherton) (10/31/88)

We have encountered a very strange problem while using Cricket Graph
and we hope that someone may enlighten us as to the origin or our
grief.

We are using Cricket 1.2 (Feb 8/88 version). Decimal numbers that
are entered as .24 become .23999999 when some graphs are attempted.

I thought the problem might be related to an earlier trouble I was
having, and since the advice was to rebuild the desktop for that
problem I thought it was an opportune time.  Unfortunately, after
rebuilding the desktop, neither Cricket Graph or Statview recognized
the SE keypad numbers (wierd, eh?).  So, I restarted the SE and now
it recognizes the keypad.

I thought maybe there was a virus so I ran Virus Detective.  It gave me
a number of STR512-720 errors (10 of them, in fact).  Some of these
'infected' files were system files.  Have I caught a bug. What does
STR Range 512 720 mean? How do I get rid of these if they are bad?

Finally, has anyone else experienced this problem with Cricket Graph?

Thanks as always
