Any Surveyors?

You are correct, the SYSEVALs do not return the correct answer if the inputs are exact integers. Type checking is indeed necessary for general use but the SYSEVALs are significantly faster inside a loop.
Also, while I agree that P->R and R->P are not strictly necessary in RPL, the lack of these functions may be disconcerting to users unfamiliar with RPL, and it may not be obvious how to replace them.

thanks John using Sysevals in loops seems like the place for them, i will have to delve into the scary world of sysrpl to learn a bit about argument & type checking (or else end up with a result as shown above with weird interger result) i have the link to sysrpl user guide at Erics site.
i will attempt to post an example using what else but the P->R function, (we must all be getting a little sick of this one)

to do list(so far)
------------------
*check for real number (integer no good)
*check for minimum of 2 numbers
*check that 1 of the numbers doesn't exceed 360 (max range for bearing)
