Some of the editors supplied with cave survey data processing
programs will add a decimal point and trailing zeroes after a
value that is typed in. By some conventions, 15.00 means a value
that is greater than 14.99 and smaller than 15.01.
SMAPS lets the user select the number of digits after the decimal
point and rounds to that value. I once did the following with
SMAPS 4.0: I set the units to meters with no digits after the
decimal point. I typed in 1.45. SMAPS immediately rounded and
displayed this as 1. and stored it in binary as 3.28083 in its
data file.
