A program I have, which works fine on other unix boxes and even worked on 386bsd 0.0, has now decided to give fp-exceptions under 0.1. If I can get enough help I'll track the problem down but at the moment I don't even know what the possible causes of exceptions are? I couldn't use install because of an fp-exception so there may be some difference with my board. If so, I'm going to have to find a fix. Since this didn't happen with 0.0 does anyone know what has been changed as this would be a good place to start. -- Paul Richards at Cardiff university, UK. spedpr@uk.ac.cf.thor Internet: spedpr%thor.cf.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk UUCP: spedpr@cf-thor.UUCP or ...!uunet!mcsun!uknet!cf!thor!spedpr +++
