> And FYI, your program fails to work correctly on my Linux/ppc machine:
Hmmm. I don't have a PPC machine available to test against. Works on my side
on an Intel architecture for a variety of test cases though, so it must be
something specific. What byte order is the PPC? Is it MSB perhaps? I don't
know whether it may be related. I can probably test on SUN/Solaris.
I don't know whether you are aware, but Gnumeric which I use frequently, also
apparently uses the GNU C library floating point- It displays similar problems
to what we have discussed here. Magic spreadsheet program though.
Regards, and thanks for all your persistence and advice. Particularly on an
issue long since marked "resolved".
