Please respond to him at your appropriate variant of one of these addresses: NTOMCZAK at UALTAVM NTOMCZAK%UALTAVM.bitnet@ugw.utcs.utoronto.ca ljdickey ] Only after gawk2.11 was posted in comp.sys.atari.binaries I become aware of a bug in PML floating point library used on ST by gcc compiler. This causes that gawk built-in atan2() is incorrect. Its arguments are switched and sometimes it complains about precision loss when there is none. As long as you know that this is more bother than a problem. If it is really troublesome for you then you will have to recompile with corrected libraries, I guess. I do not plan to post new executables before next version of gawk will appear. BTW - this bug in PML is already fixed and Jwahar Bammi has new sources. Unfortunately it will take some time before changes will percolate everywhere. Since nobody reported it for a looong time I guess that this is not a show stopper. :-) Michal Jaegermann ntomczak@ualtavm.bitnet
