Hello all

I just tried the test program on a T800 in our Meiko in-sun computing surface, 
as well as a SUN 4/110 and a microVAX 3100. the results I got were:

MEIKO C (CStools/SUN) compiled for T800:

The Expected Results:> free_l[1]=-0.000002 and free_l[2]=0.000007
The Calculated Values:> free_l[1]=0.000031 and free_l[2]=-0.000118
Done...

MEIKO C (CStools/SUN) compiled for T414:

The Expected Results:> free_l[1]=-0.000002 and free_l[2]=0.000007
The Calculated Values:> free_l[1]=0.000031 and free_l[2]=-0.000118
Done...

SUN C (SunOS 4.0.3):

The Expected Results:> free_l[1]=-0.000002 and free_l[2]=0.000007
The Calculated Values:> free_l[1]=-0.000002 and free_l[2]=0.000007
Done...

VAX C (VMS 5.4-1):

The Expected Results:> free_l[1]=0.000000 and free_l[2]=0.000000
The Calculated Values:> free_l[1]=0.000000 and free_l[2]=0.000000
Done...

Interesting huh?
