Can anyone tell me of a reliable way of determining invalid
floating point numbers (single or double precision)?  
I'm convinced it is possible since
Borland's debugger just prints "NAN" for this case.

I would appreciate any information, pointers to information, or code in
Turbo C, Microsoft C, or Turbo Pascal.

Thank you all.
