Hi Tracers,

I have already posted this to povray.bugreports but thought
I'd post it here also.

I think I have found a bug with str() on a Mac 68k.

I have a macro which prints out a vector:

//---------------------------------------------------------------
// Macro PrintVector(V)
//---------------------------------------------------------------
#macro PrintVector(V)
 concat("<",str(V.x,4,4),",",str(V.y,4,4),",",str(V.z,4,4),">")
#end

This macro works fine on a PowerPC but not on 68k.

For example:

#local mPosition = <1.0, 5.0, 0.0>;
#debug concat("mPosition is: ", PrintVector(mPosition),"\n")

prints out:
mPosition: <-1.9375,2.1250,0.0000>

mPosition.x (which is 1.0) prints out as 1.9375 and
mPosition.y (which is 5.0) prints out as 2.1250

I can't get access to the 68k source right now, so I
don't know what's going on.

I'm using the last official compile for Mac 68k Version 3.1g r2 for FPU's.
My hardware is a Performa 600 with a 50 MHz MicroMac Diimo accelerator PDS
card.
Although the card patches Apple's SANE routines, the bug persists even when

I uncheck the SANE options in the Diimo Control Panel. Can anyone reproduce

this
bug on a 68k mac?

Any ideas anyone? TIA
