Perhaps someone at NeXT could fill us in on the extent of the mathematical problems, since they already new about the tanh(x) bug. I'd like to know what functions/compilers to avoid, and when/how a bug fix for the existing problems will be available. Non-functioning math functions are a serious problem on a scientific workstation! -- Barry Merriman UCLA Dept. of Math UCLA Inst. for Fusion and Plasma Research barry@math.ucla.edu (Internet)
