<DIV><FONT size=2>Hallo FPC gurus,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am VERY new to free pascal and I have a couple of problems.
Can somebody please help?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1. If a, b are real numbers and I want to round a/b foo to 3
decimal places, the answer is displayed in Scientific notation. How do I turn
that off?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2. Without using Object Pascal, how can I change the
background colour, a very black BLACK, when the program runs? It is strenuous on
my poor eyes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thank you so far. The rest of the problems can wait a couple
of days.</FONT></DIV>
