Hi,
In response on all this decimal discussions i posted a new magazine
(mag-0003) about a feature that is maybe unknown.
[btw, it is no problem to make digit handling language dependent, at least
the presets; math/physics is another thing and needs more discussion]
[i had also planned to upload a new beta but my internet connection is too
slow today; adsl in a couple of month]
Hans

Hans, thank you for your (as always) minimal response time. I had a
quick glance at the mag, and two thoughts came to my mind:
- Of course, I want to use a different seperator combination than
available with the predefined modes. Others will have yet more
different wishes. So when it comes to implementing a higher-level user
interface one day, it may be better to make thousands and decimal
seperators definable seperately instead of numbering all possible
combinations
- At the same point, please don't forget about that customization of the
space between number and unit...

My personal opinion is that I wouldn't want function names to be
language dependent. Concerning scientific language, a common
international set of names / symbols is a progress. Maybe not on the
common speech level, but which ordinary human being uses mathematics,
anyway ;-)
Ok, seriously, as far as German is concerned, I think we are quite happy
without internationalization for math / physics. On the other hand, I am
neither a mathematician nor a physicist, so there may be things I can't
even think of.

Great! That reads easier than the module documentation of the source.... :-)

There is a link to this page from the main page, too.

Thanks. Can the MAGs be added to the documentation section of the web-site?
There are enough user who use a simple modem connection to the internet.
Forcing them to PDF-based navigation is IMO not a good idea.
Best,
Jens
