This is on Windows XP with the 32bit version of Mathematica 6.0.2:
In[1]:= x = SetAccuracy[0, 80];
{Abs[x] < 10^-900, Positive[x], Negative[x], NonPositive[x],
NonNegative[x]} // InputForm
Out[1]//InputForm=
{False, Positive[0``80.], Negative[0``80.], NonPositive[0``80.],
NonNegative[0``80.]}
In[2]:= {Sign[x], SetPrecision[x, 20], Sign[0], KroneckerDelta[x]}
Out[2]= {0, 0, 0, 1}
In[3]:= UnitStep[{0, 0.0, x}]
Out[3]= {1, 1, 1}
In[4]:= Unitize[{0, 0.0, x}]
Out[4]= {0, 0, 0}
