Is there any similar construct in which I can do effectively the same thing using a REAL, or am I relegated to a series of IF ... THENs?

Yes, I am familiar with the hazards of comparing reals. <BR /> <BR />Now I just have to decide which is uglier, the IF..THENs, or the conversion to an INTEGER case expression.
