Floats

I was googling this afternoon for differences between Mac and PC floating point operation, and I entered "Mac PC float".

Beth happened to wander in when I was doing this and she asked "is that for a parade?"

Oy.

lol!
Not a bad idea actually... maybe we could get a mac porting parade at the next MacWorld or WWDC. Floats for all the game porting groups, fink, some of the independant sci/edu projects, maybe a BigMac one from VT too.

I thought it was a Mac, A PC, 2 scoops of ice cream and some root beer!

So were you doing this for the C&C Generals PC->Mac network play?

No, actually it came up in regards to float->int conversion on another project. The PC behaves quite different from the Mac when it comes to edge cases.
