The information in this article applies to:
 
- Microsoft Automap Road Atlas for Windows, version 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
In Automap Road Atlas version 4.0, if a dollar amount containing cents
is entered in the Route menu, Route Settings Fuel tab selection, the
value entered is rounded to the whole dollar amount only.
 
For example, if 1,45$ is typed and you click, the fuel cost becomes 1,00$.
This behavior also occurs in the Route Wizard.
 
The problem occurs when the Windows International settings are set to:
 
  Country:   Canada (French)
  Language:  French Canadian
 
and the decimal separator is set as a comma.
