Ok, ignore my last message, this new change set I&#39;m attaching is a little nicer. It doesn&#39;t add an unnecessary SqNumberParser subclass and it lets you write something like this:<div><br></div><div>Number readFrom: &#39;3,14&#39; decimalPoint: $,<br>

<br></div><div>I also tried configuring the decimal point with a preference but the result was a little dangerous because new code using the wrong decimal point wouldn&#39;t compile, so I think this is a reasonable good solution to your problem. I hope it helps.</div>
