AHA! It is not perfect! 1. There was a tantalizingly incomplete article about testing different aspects of floating point arithmetic in the last BYTE. Has anyone got the whole program in any and all languages? 2. I tried the little program in that article in Turbo Pascal and Aztec C 1.06b. Aztec passed, Turbo FLUNKED! For me, good floating point is important. This has me very nervous. Kahn? If you are out there, please make sure that the floating point in Turbo is as good as it can be. -------

I don't get BYTE, but I do have Turbo, and I'd like to be sure of the status of the version I have, bugs and all. If the program is too big for reasonable posting, I'll try some other way.
