Chad,

If his point is that there is no smallest positive number, then I
think I understand it, thanks.  I should have said that I was looking
for the smallest positive number Double can represent, but thought
that was clear from the context.

If this is not his point, I'd really appreciate an explanation.

Thanks,

Tamas
