I have a numerical oriented program written in C which runs fine on sun3, myrias, Decstations and Mips systems (I know - that's a subset of two processors - 68020 and Mips ?R2000?). Anyway when I run the program on the Sparc/sun 4/soulborne system I get "SQRT: DOMAIN ERROR". I haven't taken the time to figure out exactly what is going on - but will begin to look at it during the week. Anyways, I was wondering if there were some well known floatpoint errors or differences between sun3 and sun4. (The sun3 are using 68881 and the Mips are using the mips floating point chip).. Thanks, Alan Krantz
