Re: about 'round' function on mingw

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello
This is just a forwarded mail that I've post to mingw ML.

================================================
Hello

I've searched by myself

octave:6> help bitmax
 -- Built-in Function:  bitmax ()
    Return the largest integer that can be represented as a floating
    point value.  On IEEE-754 compatiable systems, `bitmax' is `2^53 -
    1'.

bitmax is a built-in function

Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the on-line version of the manual.  Use the command
`doc <topic>' to search the manual index.

Help and information about Octave is also available on the WWW
at http://www.octave.org and via the address@hidden
mailing list.
octave:7> bitmax
ans =  9.00719925474099e+15

Is this information OK?

Regards

Tatsuro
