Has anyone experienced difficulties with running SCO Professional under SCO UNIX? The platform is a 25 MHz 386 with no numerical coprocessor. The behaviour under UNIX seems to be that numerical expressions are not accepted. The command tree seems to be fine but no actual computation seems to be possible. I constantly get the message: "Expression needs to be broken down" -- Bruce Balden, Department of Thaumaturgy, Xenophon Consulting Usenet: uunet!van-bc!balden Internet: balden@wimsey.bc.ca -- Bruce Balden, Department of Thaumaturgy, Xenophon Consulting Usenet: uunet!van-bc!balden Internet: balden@wimsey.bc.ca
