Hi Bruno,

Are you fooling yourself?

In[1]:=
$Version
ineq = -10 <= 3*x + 2 <= 10;
Reduce[ineq, x]

Out[1]=
5.2 for Microsoft Windows (June 20, 2005)

Out[3]=
            8
-4 <= x <= -
            3

In[1]:= $Version
ineq = -10 <= 3*x + 2 <= 10;
Reduce[ineq, x]

Out[1]= 6.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (April 20, 2007)

Out[3]=
            8
-4 <= x <= -
            3

Regards,
Jean-Marc
