[comp.windows.x] Spaceout.tar.Z

yakker@ucrmath.UCR.EDU (The Rastafari Yakker) (06/14/89)

Recently I obtained a copy of spaceout.tar.Z from polyso.calpoly.edu, and
the sources compiled perfectly.  Whenever I run the program in my root
window, however, I get the message:

    asin:  DOMAIN error

Which scrolls down the screen.  Anyone seen a patch for this?  I think
it has to do with the dimensions of the Sun 3/60's we have (1152 X 900) 
and is causing the out-of-bounds error.  If someone could send me a fix,
I would greatly appreciate it.  (I can't install it without the proper
code..)

	This error is coming to you from asin().  It is bitching about the
	fact that it is being given a parameter value that is out of
	range.  The X server does this when it tring to draw some arcs.

	I sent in a bug report about this sometime ago, guess nothing
	was ever done....

Something was done, we've just never put out a public patch for it.

The fix for the asin:  DOMAIN error
message is contained on the purdue speedups file on expo...  This bug is
in the miarc.c file and is a very simple fix...

it is a DOMAIN error.  plain and simple.
