CVSMBF, MKSMBF$, ETC.

Here is a snippet from QB that I executed in QB:

  a = 91234.56
  b$ = MKD$(a)
1 c = CVD(b$)
2 PRINT c
   PRINT b$
OPEN "O", 1, "testmkd"    'sent it a file
WRITE #1, b$
CLOSE 1

The result of lines 1-2 correctly yields the proper value of "a".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the QB64 code I used to test b$ that I wrote to the file:

   Open "I", 1, "testmkd"
   Input #1, b$
1 Print CVD(b$)
2 Print CVDMBF(b$)
   close 1

OUTPUT:
-7.6795... D-226    (line 1)
91234.5625          (line 2)

As you can see only line 2 correctly interpreted the string b$ back to the original value of a in QB.
