The problem is simple... maybe the solution will be, too.
I'm trying to define my own matherr() function, as described on page 242 of
the Reference Guide.

#include <math.h>

int matherr(struct exception *e)
	{
	fprintf(stderr, "Hello, world!\n");
	return 1;
	}

I then write a short program that just divides by zero, link it with the above,
and run it.  Instead of "Hello, world!\n", I get the standard Turboc C
"Floating point error: Divide by 0".

Any ideas/suggestions/etc will be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance...
