I was working on a Euclid algorithm in hypercard and after I finished I trie tried to act like a dumb user and after fooling around a bit I type: put line 1 of card field input / line 2 of card field input the field input was empty and I got a NAN(004), anybody know what that means? -- sven@cs.widener.edu Widener CS System Manager Sven Mike Heinicke and Student

"NAN" is SANE for "Not A Number." (You were dividing by the empty set:
undefined
by any math that I have heard of).
