Yes this makes it run. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Bodenstab <imdave@mcs.net> To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG>; rlyon@ozemail.com.au <rlyon@ozemail.com.au> Date: Friday, 26 September 1997 7:30 Subject: Re: NIST ATM Network Simulator. Apparently many Unix's mask floating point exceptions by default. FreeBSD does not. Good? Bad? Well, it's just the way it is. I find that many application programs seem to rely on the exceptions being masked rather than being more careful how computations are done. A quick kludge is to simply mask all the exceptions... of course, whatever errors are hidden by this approach remain...
