Re: Preventing a divide by zero error

[Clay B Carley <cbc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vern and Jon,

I don't see a version or edition on this book, but it is dated 1998.

In chapter 5, they talk about "traditional RPG arithmetic operations", 
but also say that section is there just in case you run into those 
functions later on.

Thanks again to everyone who replied!
