[comp.sys.mac.programmer] NaN's and MPW C

jess@gn.ecn.purdue.edu (Jess M Holle) (06/07/91)

Excuse me if this is a re-post. I posted this morning and this article didn't
show up, so I'm trying again.

Anyway........

How do you take advantage of NaN exceptions and the works from MPW C. Also,
what differences are there in the implementations of these straight software
SANE, the -mc68881 option, and the -elems881 option?

On a related note, how necessary is the Apple Numerics book to programming
an RPN calculator app (w/ complex numbers, infinities, etc)? How helpful
is the book? How much is mentioned about SANE in Inside Mac (I don't have
my own copy and there are no copies of Inside Mac or Apple Numerics in
the Purdue libraries; they're missing :( ).

Thanks.
