Re: TIB: Real number to string


Okay, I'll admit you've got me there.  But, you're still in trouble if you want
anything besides a whole number.  I suppose you could add in more of those and
use some fPart commands to add decimal places, but it would be large and awkward
to code for anything beyond maybe 1 or 2 decimal places.  My point was that
there is no built-in command to perform this task.  Although it would make life
peachy if there was.
