Heh, thanks anyways for your help, and for taking the time to look at the topic.

Works 99.9% perfectly. The only problem is when you use something like $190.10, it gives you a nickel and five pennies. How would you make it just give you a dime? Attached is the spreadsheet (I changed it a bit to include toonies, and to total up the number of bills)

So, you no longer need a program? If you still want an MS-DOS version of it, i will give it a go. The only problem is, it won't work on an NTFS hard drive. For some reason dos just doesn't like newer technology?

Nope, dont need a program. The spreadsheet approach works perfectly, with the exception of that little flaw I asked for help for above. Also, none of our computers run FAT32 or FAT16 so we'd have to run an emulated environment or boot dos from a floppy, which isnt good, since my parents have a hard time using their email account.

Ok. Yes, that does sound like parrents to me. Lol. Although Dos and FATxx are outdated, i still think they are one of the most stable operating evironments. In my opinion, i think DOS 5/6, Win98se, and WinXP are the most stable OS's ever made. I can't wait to see Vista!

98 was terrible for me. The most stable OS Ive ever used was Mandrake Linux. Ran it solid for a month as a server until the power went out and not once had a problem.

What went wrong with 98? I hate 98 first edition, but SE was a land mark.

ParkingLotLust · 6th August 2006, 12:39 AM

Crashed like nothing. And blue screens galore.

Marks256 · 6th August 2006, 12:44 AM

Which release? FE or SE?

As now it's still the worst crap never ever made.. well the BETA. I hope the final release will be better. BTW you'll need a dual core to run it.

This is not true - However Vista is indeed the worst crap mankind had ever been faced with. But Vista looks very good - its GUI is incredibly nice.
I hope performance will be the same...

No, vista has backward compatibility with single core, and 32-bit. I do like the GUI, but i too hope it's performance is also good. hopefully it isn't another 2K disaster.

Yup. Anyways, why does the spreadsheet give me a nickel and five pennies instead of a dime when the value is xxx.10?

Marks256 · 7th August 2006, 02:00 AM

The programmer was on crack. That is the only reason. The program was either made to do that, or there is a bug in the algorithm. I think the programmer over complicated the situation. Check and see if there is a patch out there for it, or an update.

Umm... What?
