Hi folks,

I've been playing with PLOP on WinXP for some days again, and I noticed an error in the Material tab. The problem is related to the locale setting: in some countries one uses a dot for the decimal separator, other countries use a comma.

If I select a glass type from the pull-down list, then I get weird numbers. If I however manually replace the commas with dots in the Edit tab, and then I perform the simulation, then I get realistic figures again.

For what it's worth, I have PLOP 2.1.4 (Apr 16 2001) installed on my PC.

Anyone still maintaining PLOP?

Best regards,

Olivier
