[Gambas-user] about IsFloat and IsInteger behaviour...

[nando]

I do believe CInt will convert to a 4 byte Integer.
I heavily use CByte to convert to a 1 byte.
I do this because
  Write #hfile, Byte_Var
will definitely write to a file only 1 byte.

Question for Benoit, 

Do you screen all emails to this forum or do they
all get posted automatically??
