With reference to the subject of Turbo C and Clipper a number of messages have
there way here... ending with this one...

The file is called NSUPPORT.<ZIP or ARC> and it contains information about
calling Clipper's own internal floating point functions.  They mention Turbo-C
users specifically as those who could benefit from the routines but who will
have a considerable amount of work on their hands.  The routines are supplied
as-is (you can't call them for tech support) and they are written for the
S'87 version (I have no reason to believe that they wouldn't work with 5.0
but no guarantee is made).

Now, how to get them.  I suppose that I could fire them up somewhere with
a little coaxing (was going to have to learn how to do this eventually)
but need to know where they should go.  Simtel ?  This newsgroup ? Private
mail ?

Let me know.
