NCSS and PASS were programmed in an English version of Windows. We have found that some non-English versions of Windows treat the decimal point differently in that they use the decimal comma rather than the decimal point. For example, in some non-English versions of Windows, 1,234 means 1 and 233 thousandths. In the English version, this would number is treated as 1234 (one-thousand two-hundred thirty four). Obviously, this inconsistency in dealing with the decimal point can cause strange results.

We have made every effort to allow the decimal comma to be used. However, some anomalies can occur. We suggest that when you experience problems or strange results, you put your Windows language to English when using NCSS or PASS.
