The program works flawlessly when running under the emulation library (w/o coprocessor) but crashes when running with a coprocessor. The error he gets is an exception 6. If it makes a difference he wrote the program in Microsoft C 6.??. I don't know the specifics of the problem, but would greatly appreciate it if someone who is familiar with the 80387 could call my brother and perhaps offer some advice to fix this problem. He found the problem on Saturday and has been working on this problem all day Sunday and Monday. If you can think of anything that could help, or would like to talk to him, send me E-Mail and I will send you his home and work phone numbers. Let me just say again that I do not understand the problem - I've never programed math coprocessors, or used C that much. So please, if you can help I will get you in touch with my brother. Thank you in advance.
