OK, the two dec places is a Davis / new thing (screws up some of my old formats
), and the math problem is a PHP thing where sometimes it loses the plot with precision (although it only seemed to be happening with the pressure values 
)The upshot is that I made a comparitive test bed:

The interesting thing (and possible coding nightmare) is the variable number of fields.
However; Rons (Nitrx) data has the correct number of fields throughout !
So .........
Does this mean that if dayfile.txt exists Cumulus appends to it, and if it is deleted then it is rebuilt from scratch ? (Or possibly when using the editor ?)
(Apologies to the 'donors' for lifting their data
)
