Agnes.
1. With binary you can traslate any decimal fraction ( it is very simple to define a format with two binary integers ).

2. On VFP you can use $0.1, it is write with binary sequence, and it is traslated exactly.

Have VFP decimals ? No! Simple.

The not obvious thing is that, because VFP is not a scientific environment,
a developer expects that there are sure the decimals and optionals the double.
