BidMagic Number Rounding

Problem

DOS version- in reports, some numbers appear strangely formatted, as 1.000001 or 6.539999999.

Diagnosis

This is a bug in ToolBook 3.x. Until Asymetrix fixes it, we're stuck with it. Fortunately it's just a cosmetic problem.

NOTE-- in later updates of BidMagic Construction Estimating Software we apply rounding to fix this problem, since Toolbook never fixed it in the base code.

Solution

If they really hate it, they can export the report to a text file using one of the Export xxxx commands, correct the numbers in the text file, and print that out (instead of printing directly from BidMagic construction estimating software).

NOTE-- We retired BidMagic estimating software back in 2002, and replaced with Goldenseal-- which is integrated estimating software and project management software (plus optional accounting software).
