ok, it just jumped out at me because you had been talking about VFP but this was 
FPV... and apparently i goofed my above, too... i don't even know which one 
would be proper... it is just crazy that there are so many but that would be a 
standard, wouldn't it? :lol:

i'm guessing that VFP is Virtual Floating Point which i would understand as 
being emulated kinda like we used to do when a machine didn't have a math 
co-processor in it...
