You don't seem to understand my point, which is that you are describing
<float.h> as a *standard header*, and yet you *also* describe it as
containing QFLT_EPSILON. It can't *both* be a standard header *and*
contain QFLT_EPSILON at the same time.


Polemic, polemic without end, but you did not contribute anything
to this discussion.

Jacob, in this instance I agree with you but I also recommend you
ignore Richard, he's being stupid. He was wrong earlier in this
thread, and he's now doing _exactly_ what he frequently complains
about others doing, viz changing his argument to cover his tracks
instead of admitting his error.
