Spent many frustrating hours poring over my code and so tried to use SDB to help out. (This is Manx C 3.6a). It seems that SDB does not know how to print floats correctly. I tried compiling with the default FFP option and even the IEEE format but it did not seem to work. What am I doing wrong? While I'm on the subject of Manx - How about an upgrade soon or at least some news on the progress? I'd love to get new documentation: my advice is to look at MicroSoft C for MSDOS and emulate their manuals.

Whatever it is, I musta done it, too - had the same problem. I believe when I tried one of the other mathlibs, the problem reversed: SDB showed correct results, but a printf stuck in the program showed garbage. Don't remember which mathlib, sorry; it was a while back. - QQQCLC - Kenn Barry --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ELECTRIC AVENUE: {most major sites}!ames!eos!barry ARPA: barry@eos.arc.nasa.gov

I've never had trouble if I compile with the +fi option and link with either mx.lib or ma.lib (the latter uses the CBM-supplied mathieeedoubbas.library). It also works on my new A2620 with in-line floating point (compile with +f8, link with -lm8). -- Stephen Walton, Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Univ.
