Need help understanding NetRexx and really small doubles

[Jason Martin]

Sample program with digits set really high

numeric digits 648

dubmin = Double.MIN_VALUE

System.out.println(dubmin)

--outputs: 4.9E-324

say RexxUtil.doubleToRexx(Double.MIN_VALUE, 648)

--outputs: 1.0000000000000002220446049250313080847263336181640625

System.out.println(RexxUtil.doubleToRexx(Double.MIN_VALUE, 648).tostring())

--outputs: 1.0000000000000002220446049250313080847263336181640625
