Clearly, you must have the ACK floating-point patches installed. Otherwise, c68 will bomb since it uses floating point code even when parsing an integer number (how else would you cope with FP constants like 123456789876543421.12345 ?) If you compile c68 with -DNOFLOAT, c68 does not use FP code, and it cannot generate correct FP constants for this reason. Guys, I have always mentioned that c68 needs a compiler featuring floatingpoint to be compiled! If you do not have the floating point extensions, you can compile c68 on a PC, a workstation or whatever system with a 'full' C-Compiler you have, let c68 compile itself there and transfer the assembler files to your MINIX box.

I have not tested compiling c68 under Mess-Doss, but I did it on several workstations, and, of course, under MINIX using both ACK and C68. 16-bit ints are no problem when compiling c68. C.v.W.
