I just ran into that awhile ago. My mail file is on my unix partition and I am running dos (gasp!) right now...the long and short of it is that "enquire" may be compiled already. Check for the executable. If memory serves, it creates float.h or math.h? (check the Makefile to be sure) Anyway, the trap is probably a "loss of precision trap". There are a couple of MAX and MIN numbers that are in error in the last couple of digits. After you "make install" you need to edit those numbers to slightly more accurate values. Send me e-mail to prompt my memory and I will send you the help file I received. (when I have unix up) -- Daniel Ortmann NDSU Electrical Engineering ortmann@plains.nodak.edu Fargo, North Dakota
