I may have misunderstood, but in the revision I sent in yesterday
I adjusted the parameter type for FACT and FACTDOUBLE from Number to
Integer and removed the parts of the semantics that said conversion to
INT would not be required. However, the current revision 20070131 still
has them. Oversight or purpose?
