[fpc-devel] Currency update

[J. Gareth "Kit" Moreton]

Hi everyone,

I have to apologise for my recent absence and lack of progress fixing 
the bugs I've caused.  I'm currently fixing the failure in 
webtbs/tw41865c.pp which is centred around the division of two Currency 
types.  I've got it to work on x86_64-win64 (which internally stores it 
as an Int64) but my fix doesn't work on x86_64-linux (which internally 
stores it as an Extended). However, while writing this e-mail, the fact 
I said "Extended" just clued me in... the test itself may be incorrect 
because the storage formats between integral and floating-point values 
are fundamentally different.  Back to work I go!

Gareth aka. Kit
