I think you mis-remembered the magic numbers- the ones don't cause a
problem on either ROM set.  If you found some numbers that do not work
on the upgrade ROMs, I'd like to hear about it.

The C Power problem is unrelated to this.  Incidentally, I have fully
described the C128 math routines in the DEVpack manual.  I will announce
when it's available, where to get it, and how much $$$$ just as soon as
this engineer finds out.
