Hi, Has anybody noticed a problem with the cvr utility? I seem to have problems with converting a negative number embedded in a string and also converting 1e-10 when embedded. Here's a copy of a session: radon:smc>psh executive Welcome to NeWS Version 1.1 (1e-10) cvr stack 1e-: 10 string cvs stack (1e-:) cvr stack 1 clear (2.3e-10) cvr stack 2.3e-: clear (1e-9) cvr stack 1e-9 clear (1e-21) cvr stack 1e-21 clear (1e10)cvr stack 10000000000 (-100.05) cvr stack 100.05 Does anybody have a fix? The minus sign is easy but handling the scientific notation problem seems a pain. Unfortunately, my users will be entering lots of info using that notation - it seems like the only problem is with e-10, but I don't know that for certain.
