This looks like a locale issue (note that I have set my language to german, which might imply a 'comma' as 'decimal point' for the tonumber function).
What will be the best way to set the locale temporarily for the sysinfo application? Why does the xterm application seems to export 'english' settings?
Many thanks again

whoahhhh!!!! very good catch!
I don't know lua in depth and hadn't noticed this behaviour.
The solution is easy: a simple os.setlocale('C', 'numeric') at the start of the program will solve the bug.
I bought a DR800S a couple of weeks ago, so I won't develop more for the Iliad, sorry.
