Isaac,

I've always felt that division by zero, in most cases, is represents a lack of data validation on the part of the developer. However, I've also run across instances where, for various and sundry reasons it might not be. Having said that, it really depends on the situation. I have, depending on the circumstance, allowed the "****" to be displayed, displayed zero, or displayed nothing. It just depended on the requirements.
