Hey Fred!!! Hope you read this. While it may appear (to some) that you have been slack in your duties, I would like to point out that some of us recognize you are only one person and that your work has been nothing less than commendable. Evidenced by the fact that even those expressing discontent with its development KEEP COMING BACK!!!
Thanks to you I have been able to restore viability in my old 16 bit code by migrating to PureBasic. This is a help desk app that my employer has come to rely on for lack of a better solution. The company I work for, our employees and all our customers around the world have and will continue to benefit from both our efforts, ''in a serious, money matters'' kind of way. I thank you for that.
BTW: I'm interested in the 64bit floats myself, but I hear that's on the to-do list and my persperctive isn't ''limited'' to math based projects so I can wait. I do have one question though... Do you intend to suppliment the current float functions with 64 bit, or will the 64 bit replace the current floats? (No big explaination/commitment... just curious on your thoughts so far).
Oh... and one last thing. Too much to ask for at this point, but I like playing with really big numbers and exponential expectations what they are, I just though I would add that it would be nice to have 128bit floats. Something to think about when you have nothing else tugging on your sleeve.
Thanks again!

Is this feature in version 4 now?
Now the new version is out, can it handle 64 bit float?
