John Munsch suggests that I use win3kit.com to "merge" the
SDK libraries with zortechs zl?.lib's. I will rush home
and try this. Thank You.
Will my floating point problems go away after this? Just what
happens when I use floating point and link as follows?
link appname,,/nod slibcew libw zls pls
Whose emulator am I getting (I have no 80x87)? SDK's, Zortech's or
a little of both?! Petzold's freemem.c example (which computes
available virtual memory as a floating point) causes that all
too familiar screen to appear (which in effect says "Terminating
ill-behaved application..." when compiled with Zortech, but behaves
fine when FP ops are replaced with fixed point ops.
Vale,

I sow something about problem like yours in article <1991Feb15.110703.18147@watserv1.waterloo.edu> with subject "Frequently Asked Questions, comp.windows.ms.programmer edition" from Tom Haapanen: 11. Why does compiling a Windows application with emulator floating-point cause corrupted code segments when running on a non-87 machine? >> The emulated floating point tries to used the coprocessor. When it does not find one on startup, it patches the code to use the software floating point. Patching does however not adapt the code-segment checksum, thus the windows debugging version chokes when it horridly founds that some- thing terrible must have happened to the code. Get rid of it by setting 'EnableSegmentChecksum=0' in the [debug] section of WIN.INI; the problem only affects debugging versions of Windows. -------------------- May be it helps!

I have absolutely no idea. I haven't tried any apps that use floating point yet so I don't know whether floating point works or not. I know Walter Bright has answered a question here once or twice, maybe he could give us some insight on it. P.S. If you try floating point with the ZL?W libs and it works, let me know. John Munsch
