hihi, peter, alin-adrian, don - thanx for your quick answers and suggestions (i don't think that i tried to run this program on any of my 4.x systems and i know i haven't tried to run it on anything else, since i don't use anything else for real work; apparently, pentiums sort of use ieee floating point, which has 52+1 bits mantissa, with flags to use 64bits - so that's not the problem either)
it sounds more like peter's more historically aware response explains what happened - i will see what i can do to check it and report back soon i will also look up the PR reporting procedures and make one of for this thanx to all, and more soon, cal Chris Landauer Aerospace Integration Science Center The Aerospace Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
