However there seems to be a problem working accurately with floats that have 7 or more digits in total (before or after the decimal point). PD always seem to round the figure to 6 digits whether in a calculation, or even typing a 7+ digit float into a number box e.g. 1234.5678 rounded to 1234.57
have you the size of numbox set to '0' ?

i think there is octave object, try and see if that could give any
different results, but i doubt it would ;)
