- This is not a special Clipper bug. Comparing the results of transactions with
- REAL's is always a problem, since REAL's are represented as approximations in
- binary format. You can only make good comparisons with INTEGERS. You could
- solve your problem by multiplying all figures by 100 and then treat them as
- INTEGERS.
