Float have limits, it's not a Purebasic bug. Try in C or anything, it's exactly the same.

fred plans to implement doubles (quadword-size) with more precision.
(hope so fred, correct me if i am wrong).
And singles never have a accurated precision.
If you don't have more than 2-3 numbers right from the dot and no more than 5 or 6 left from the dot, use DoubleIntegers(LONGS = Doublewordsize) and build your own dot.

Getting better with a little help from my friends....thx Siggi
