why don't emulators such as the DM41X and V41 display the synthetic geese?

[dmh]

The DM41X does exactly the same for your test below.

I had already tried simple tests just to show both geese in a simple program.

V41 doesn't work either.

So which emulators handle this correctly and what is required to fix the others (ie what is the case not being handled so others can fix their emulators)?

CF 28 , CF 29 , FIX 10
(the FIX 10 can be easily typed with ZENROM, otherwise it can created by synthetic technics)

Now type 1.234567891 EEX 13 ENTER
What do you see?

I checked this is correct on a 41CV and 41CX but I can't reproduce it in my Emu41 or in V41 or even in nonpareil 0.77 ...
These (otherwise excellent) emulators are displaying '1234567891' instead and so are failing for this special case, indeed.
