Unless you want truncation, but then you would have to specify how you want it truncated.There is only one kind of truncation. It's where you chop off the decimal portion. Or, to put it another way, round towards 0By how you want it truncated, I mean what do you want it truncated to.Truncation is a mathematical function. You truncate to a number. To put it in BASIC, iPart()

Perhaps a floating-point-math Axiom, with a function to store a float to an axevar?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation limits the number of digits to the right of the decimal point to a certain number. I believe he is asking how many digits you want to truncate to.
In other news, Frey continues kicking unprecedented levels of ass.
Ahhhh i see, i thought you wanted an Axiom to use the 2 bytes in each AxeVar as floating point data, so we could have native FP in Axe If all you want to do is convert TiOS Floating Point variables into Axe variable (while truncating all the decimal points) you can use the already build in float{} command

I believe he is asking how many digits you want to truncate to.16-bit integer would be the easiest to deal with and program (methinks.) Besides, if I want 8.8, I can multiply the float by 256 before converting it.
