It seems that Outlook Express crap, didn't send my last reply *sigh*

It's a shame that you would have to type GLfloat(1.0) to give the compiler a
hint, is there some float notation that can differentitate bewteen FLoat's
and Long_Float's?

Basically, it just seems to be wasting a good opportunity for overloading
here.

Thanks,
