  When I was attempting to use Think C 4.00 I ran in to the same problem
as Mr. Wu.  My program would run correctly under the ANSI library, but
not the ANSI881 library.  My program was rather shorter (even) than his.

 #include <stdio.h>
 main()
 {
         float a;
         a = 0.5;
         printf(" %f",a);
 }

  The program runs fine with the ANSI library, and barfs with the ANSI881
library.  I placed a call to Symantec some time ago (a couple months)
at their NOT-toll free number and left the specifics with them.  They
said they would get back to me shortly.  I have never heard from them.
Fortunately, I don't use C for my professional work.
