set statement

[CRNG]

Hello All,

I'm looking at a script written in 4nt v7.01 in which there is a
statement:

set bytes_sec = %@eval[%fsize / %secs=0.0]

which is obviously calculating a byte rate by dividing a file size by
seconds. My question is: what does the "0.0" in %secs=0.0 do? I'm
guessing that it replaces the value of %secs with 0.0 _after_ secs is
used in the calculation.

Is that correct?

Thanks very much! I was looking at the "SET" help instead of at the
"EVAL" help. Duh...
