[Scilab-users] Some inconsistency during installation o 6.1

[stephane.mottelet at utc.fr]

  Hello Frederico,

Thank you for your posiitve feedback on 6.1 display improvements. I  
think you are the only user who did so on the ML.

Concerning the problem of rationals display, which is done in  
%r_p.sci,  for the moment it is impossible to respect the actual  
mode() value, because overloads are systematically evaluated with  
mode() == -1. This a current limitation of overlading mechanism and  
fixing it is doable but not trivial (at least from my point of view).

Best,

S.
