A while ago I posted a warning about using the -W option on the command line. A friend of mine just walked in the room with a line like the following: x = pow(x,y) / z; it ran clean on UNIX, it bombed on Microsoft 3.0 with: floating point error: stack underflow. The option line included "-W3". Folks, DON'T TRUST THIS OPTION. Floating point manouvers SCREW UP!!!!! It causes vital assembly code lines to VANISH!!! (I don't remember what lines exactly, and I can't be bothered to dig them up. Trust me.) ARRGGGGG!!!!
