The prefix and postfix operators '++' and '--' have NEVER worked upon float or double operands in any UNIX C compiler that I have used. (I even think you could quote chapter and verse from K&R.) If this is the only problem with CI-C86, then I'd have no complaints. /Steve Dyer decvax!genrad!wjh12!bbncca!sdyer ...!ima!bbncca!sdyer ************************************************************** If you turn to page 16 of K&R you will find an example where they ++ a double. Also on page 187 of K&R in the C reference manual section 7.2 Unary operators paragraph #5 there is a discussion of ++ing any lvalue. Just thought I would quote you chapter and verse although it really is not that big of a deal. mas decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!mas
