[ic] Decimal calculation problem

[Vagel]

Thank you for the answer Jason and Vlad.

Unfortunatelly, I tried [calc]return(100*1.5);[/calc] but this still gave me
100...
Finally I worked it out by doing [calc]return(100*15/10);[/calc]  which of
course is not a real solution but just sufficient untill to be ready to try
an upgrade to version 4.6.5 or 4.7 - not that simple having on line shops
;-)

Thanks again and have a nice day
Vagel
