For example: printf("%g\n", 0x7fffffff); will core dump on A/UX. On our BSD and other USG systems, this prints "NaN", or some appropriate value (depending on the type of internal floating point format). I submit this to this group, since I don't know of another way to submit A/UX bug reports to Apple. -- Ken Mandelberg | km@mathcs.emory.edu PREFERRED Emory University | {decvax,gatech}!emory!km UUCP Dept of Math and CS | km@emory.bitnet NON-DOMAIN BITNET Atlanta, GA 30322 | Phone: (404) 727-7963
