[esp-r] Re: Automatic rounding of decimal points

[Dimitris "Jim" Sfakianakis]

George and Achim,

Thanks! It was that setting in the region and language settings.

Achim, I agree that compiling the source code in a UNIX environment is the
best way to use ESP-r, however, when I recommend ESP-r to someone I prefer
to start with the windows version because compiling the source code can be
a very overwhelming experience with a very steep learning curve just to be
able to use the tool!


Kind regards,

Dimitris
