Bob,
I have great respect for you. But just because YOU think something does not
make it fact.
One fact is this: For me, the use of single precision arithmetic in EL does
not impair its usefulness.
On VB and other languages: I cannot think of a more critical issue than the
language/functionality provided with our trading software.
What is trivia to you may not be trivia to others.
All the best,
The Omega Man
