This is quite serious. When will this be resolved, and what is the problem?
I hear PB has a bug poking floats?

Its not a bug, but it is that floats are not correct
in hardware (in the CPU).
For 100% correct results we need DOUBLE, so please
vote for it and write a email to [url]mailto:fred@purebasic.com[/url]
and tell him that DOUBLEs are very important and
should be added soon.

Well if that's what halo was speaking about he could have read the thread about it viewtopic.php?t=1562.doubles are REALLY important, but the bug halo is referring to, is that PokeF() is documented but not implemented as it seems.
