I am 80 percent sure this is due to the way that the PPC chip handles INT and FIX. I think Andy gives us real direct access, rather than insulating us in the runtime from it. So the problem comes from there being a BASIC routine called INT() and a PowerPC routine called INT(), which do different things. Maybe the chip/API designers need to be more === BASIC Aware ====. Now I sound like a Techno-Hippy :-) Jamin
