   I found one, and confirmed with the tech support line. The compiler
makes a mistake when trying to compile:
<ptr> -= <int>   or    <ptr> += <int>
You should use, instead, <ptr> = <ptr> -/+ <int>

   Has anybody written assembly language C-functions to permit
arithmetic operations on floats or doubles which are not converted to
extended format first, to speed things up? I am planning to write a
function
float fadd(float x, float y)
and further operations along the same lines, which does not make use of
the SANE toolset.
