The following program:

program bug(input,output); var x : real;

begin x := 0.5000000000000E+00; writeln(' x = ',x:10:3); end.

incorrectly prints out

x = 5.000

It should print out

x = 0.500

This seems to be a severe bug. Thanks for pointing it out. It has been added to our test suite (rick1.pas), and will hopefully be fixed soon. As a work-around, you could use `E-00' instead of `E+00' (or no exponent at all)...
