[net.lang.mod2] Logitech M2 on Olivetti M24 and "Division by zero"

XBR2D96D@DDATHD21.BITNET (Knobi der Rechnerschrat) (06/11/86)

Hello,

we are running  Logitech's M2 compiler on an Olivetti M24 (MS-Dos 2.11)
with 8087 coprocessor.

Programs that perform "division by zero" on real-numbers seem to hang
until BREAK is pressed.

We use the direct Real-Libraries. The Compiler is revision 2.0.

Has anybody out there also seen this behaviour?
Is this the correct ("say planned") behaviour?
What can we do against this behaviour ? We would like to see a error-message.

Regards
