Simba SRL6 - minE function

Question

I have seen this code for the SRL6 Simba scripting language based on Delphi

    dist:= hypot(xs - xe, ys - ye);
    wind:= minE(wind, dist);
    if (dist < 1) then
      dist := 1;
    PDist := (dist/TDist);

And

    if (getSystemTime() > t) then
      break;

    dist:= hypot(xs - xe, ys - ye);
    wind:= minE(wind, dist);

Really, we are focusing on the bottom line of the last snippet - minE(..). What could this function mean? I know it's mathematical, and yes I've Googled for an hour with no avail! Thanks for the help

There is a possible inverse function, called MaxE() also. Neither of these availed good search results, due to Google finding them too similar to common words. — Nick Bull, Dec 18 '13 at 14:07
this is nothign about Delphi, that is only about Simba language ans SRL library. There seems to be no MINE function at http://docs.villavu.com/simba/referencescript.html so i think you should trace into MINE functions in Simba IDE or find the function in https://github.com/SRL/SRL-6 Anyway, to find people knowing Simba you better go Simba forum http://villavu.com/forum/ and ask there. This has no relation to Delphi so asking it here is just to hope for sheer luck. — Arioch 'The, Dec 18 '13 at 14:40

MinE is only a wrapper for extended values. As seen in this example:

function ps_MinE(a, b : extended) : extended; extdecl;
begin
  result := min(a,b);
end;
