You might just chop off the excess. Explore using() and see if it helps.

n=12345
print using("#####.##",n)

n=-.666
print using("#####.##",n)

I have been advised that my LB Chess program does not run correctly in LBB. Not sure I fully understand what the issue is but it is an easy fix. It seems I need to save and restore a Global value when exiting a recursive loop. Here is the section of code that needs fixed. This is a link to the origi...

I believe the LBW download is still available on Alyce's site. The problem seems to be browser based, a casual click gets ignored. On my iMac I need to Command Click to get the download started and I also need to Allow downloads from her site. Nanny state again. I know it is different for Windows, t...
