[Talk-ca] Canvec 5.0

[Bégin, Daniel]

Hi Victor,

I've just talk to the guys that create Canvec Product last week and I can confirm it was not intentional.  They will reprocess the whole thing to get it format properly.

Sorry for the inconvenients

Daniel

I just tried out the latest release of CanVec, and some integer attributes such as CODE, ACCURACY, L_HNUMF, and a whole load of others, have been changed to some weird fixed-point format, e. g.
"1760011" in version 5.0 becomes "        1760011.000000000000000"
(including spaces) in version 6.0. Is this intentional?
