1798.0. "Any specific plans for NUM1$ function?" by CSC32::B_KILLEAVY () Sat May 10 1997 20:57

Hello,

A customer says that he has been avoiding using the NUM1$ function in 
programs because at one time he saw in the documentation that it was a 
declining feature.  He doesn't know exactly where he saw it.

I can't find any reference to this in the current documentation (November 1994
reference and user manuals), the DECBASIC notes conference, this conference,
or release notes back to version 3.0.

Have I missed something?  Was this once in the docs and has since been removed?
Are there plans to get rid of num1$?  Is the customer maybe mistaken?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Brian,

	There are no plans that I know of to remove NUM1$ from DEC BASIC.
