The problem is that the bankers mode rounding is the default IEEE 754 rounding and that is what the 8087 and SSE FPU's implements.
For SSE see http://www.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/rz/docs/VTune/reference/vc148.htm For 8087 see http://books.google.fr/books?id=QZ9nM0nRQcYC&pg=PA244&lpg=PA244&dq=8087+rounding+mode&source=bl&ots=Vp3tSUsOeJ&sig=Jo7O9KggODpubD_ek5ZhKF-XgNc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=disLUs-zKMODhQeXxYCQCg&ved=0CEgQ6AEwBQ Ludo _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
