 Hi folks,

 I discoveded a fairly strange behavior of the String.to_f method using
 Rock. While Orocos uses the decimal point, Vizkit prefers the comma. In my
 opinion, we should stick to the decimal point within the whole system
 because it is standard in all programming languages (known to me). Here is
 a simple IRB test result:

 {{{
 irb(main):001:0> "9.9".to_f
 => 9.9
 irb(main):002:0> require 'orocos'
 => true
 irb(main):003:0> "9.9".to_f
 => 9.9
 irb(main):004:0> require 'vizkit'
 => true
 irb(main):005:0> "9.9".to_f
 => 9,9
 }}}

 Regards,

 Allan
