Floor function

[David McFarlane]

You beat me to it.  Still, I went ahead and posted a "Mastering 
E-Prime" article to more fully cover this (see 
http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/71182af63ddc1402 
), based on some notes I started last year and finished up today 
prodded by your question (you may also see someone else's earlier 
attempt at this at 
http://support.pstnet.com/forum/Topic4424-5-1.aspx?Highlight=floor 
).  Perhaps it will help someone else in the future.
