Short: multi base string to val function (Blitz) Author: lombi@iprimus.com.au (Lorence Lombardo) Uploader: lombi iprimus com au (Lorence Lombardo) Type: dev/basic Version: 22-May-2013 Architecture: m68k-amigaos ValF{} NextGeneration is an alternative to the "Val" command with some advantages. ValF{} NG works with or without FPU. ValF{} NG works with new Blitz and Classic Blitz. ValF{} not only does decimal fractions, but also hex, binary and octal. So why the NG ? The previous ValF{} versions were adequate for FFP, but for FPU the previous ValF{} was lacking in fractional precision. Also ValF{} NG supports the octal number system and has no dependency on other functions. With ValF{} NG the sign can be before or after the ID also. It is possible that previous versions of ValF{} were faster but speed was not the main issue here. "ValF_test.exe" and "vlm.exe" have been tested on "1.3 ROM". "ValF_test_fpu.exe" should only be run on systems with an FPU.
