Re: RMCL 5.2 on Snow Leopard: floating point issues

excellent! that sounds like the solution. Thanks!

silly question: how does one load an .s file?

After this has been tested it may warrant creating a new version of  
the RMCL download zip file. After all, without the patch RMCL is a  
floating point ticking time bomb for Snow Leopard. Do we need a  
scheme, e.g., version number for RMCL to differentiate these versions?

thanks,  Alex
