I've been having some more problems with Manx (5.0b).

The "-c2" compiler option for me produced bad assembly code that the
assembler barfed on. Anyone have the same problem?

The manual claims that with the ffp math library (-ff option) I can
get 64 bit floats by using "long double". Ehhhhh! I couldn't tell any
difference. Does it work?

When using the -f8 option (generates 68881  code). fscanf breaks. I cannot
read in float values, using %f of %lf. 

Anyone have any answers? Solutions? Good jokes?

mike
