Mike, thanks. that explains why things are going wrong. However I'm still not clear how to specify this sort on number. The JLS states: "The finite nonzero values of type double are of the form s.m.2^e, where s is +1 or -1, m is a positive integer less than 2^53, and e is an integer between -1075 and 970, inclusive. Values of that form such that m is positive but less than 2^52 and e is equal to -1075 are said to be denormalized." I can't get my head round what this means in practice. How would you represent 1e-157 for instance? Many thanks Tim --------------------------------------------- Tim Dudgeon dudgeon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
