Ron,

   I just double checked the TriSoft release, and also a release from 
IQ Software.  Neither had _tan() or _atan() in the library.  Nobody every
noticed that before.  [Proving what I always suspected.  Most of us try to
avoid floating point numbers like the plague.]

   I also double checked the master list of OEM files and see no reference
to a MATH.H include file.  However it would not be the first time DRI managed
to mess up a distribution.

   Meanwhile, still awaiting some kind of answer from DRI on 1.3 floating
point.

   Anyone else find atan or tan???
