No, I have many examples where people have used ".n", even with non-numeric identifiers ("AA345.1"). There are no rules for what people "have done." Often they are just trying to find a sortable order, and even go so far as "AA345.1a" or "35.1b." Never underestimate the cleverness of a person who needs to insert something into an already developed sequence. kc They code > for some sort of object that has at least a total order defined on it. > That's mathematics, at least in my book. > > peter > > PS: Arguing that floats are not intended for mathematical use is more > viable to me. > > -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
