Eugene, a quick, simple ( I hope ) question about the ATR stop code you helped me with? Have searched the documentation and can't find an answer.

In this code line (Rotational Strategy) what is the 100.0d do? I believe it is a divide by 100 but what does the " d " represent and why is there a red "squiggly" under the d ? Thanks! Bill

You can either add a decimal or use the "d". It doesn't hurt if you do both, but the editor will whine a little with the red squiggly. Anyway, the idea is to avoid an integer division result.
