Sooo, I found this in the PDP-11 ALGOL 68S manual: ---- # Two flavors of real-to-integer conversion # round 1.6 yields 2 proc (real) int entier 1.6 yields 1 proc (real) int round -1.4 yields -1 entier -1.4 yields -2 ---- They use ROUND for ceil. I suggest we do the same, as there is at least some established tradition about it..
