I am using Xenix dev. 2.3.0 with the 2.3.2 os, when using the 80287 in my
machine with two ray tracing packages that I have compiled under the -M3
option I get floating point exceptions. I have contacted SCO and have 
installed the new floating point lib, and the compiler upgrade disk(both
386 and 286 compilers are now ver 5.1). I thought that it might be the 
ray tracer code, but when I recompile the "ctest" prg. that comes with the
CGI samples it does not run the colour palette demo properly, but it works
fine when I use the "ignorefpu" option at boot. I do not know where to go
from here, HELP!!!!

Thanks
