There is a problem in jade 1.1.1 with the conversion of real numbers
and quantities. This problem comes from the handling of radix
introduced in this version

Waiting a new version, you may correct this behaviour by modifying the
files $(JADEHOME)/style/ELObj.h and $(JADEHOME)/style/ELObj.cxx by
adding the followings :

File $(JADEHOME)/style/ELObj.h :

*** ELObj.h	1998/06/18 09:43:02	1.1
--- ELObj.h	1998/06/18 11:07:12

***************
*** 255,260 ****
--- 255,261 ----
    QuantityType quantityValue(long &, double &, int &);
    bool isEqual(ELObj &);
    void print(Interpreter &, OutputCharStream &);
+   void print(Interpreter &, OutputCharStream &, unsigned );
  private:
    double n_;
  };

File $(JADEHOME)/style/ELObj.cxx, at line 676 add :

void RealObj::print(Interpreter & interp, OutputCharStream &out, 
	            unsigned radix)
{
  print(interp,out);
}


Note that these patches do not try to handle the radix argument.
