I totally agree - double precision (twice the significant digits as Easy
Language) is the standard today.   Many scientific calculalations use long
double (4 times the significant digits of Easy Language.)    Especially with
attitudes like those of The Omega Man it seems it won't be long before
TradeStation will lose it's market share in trading applications.
