There is a fix for it (available on Simtel20 and probably from Borland). Until you get it put a line like (void)exp(1.0); in your main(). It's ugly but it does get the FP formats loaded. >(TC v2.01 is exhibiting other buggy behaviour, including hanging, and >odd chars on the screen, esp when run on a network. Is it only me, or >are other people having problems? ) This is a new one on me. Is some one messing up the .cfg or .tc configuration files? Any more details? If you are using TC regularly I suggest that you subscribe to TURBOC-L. There are a fair number of users subscribed to it and if there is a known bug you are running into someone will know about it. There is also a bug list maintained there.
