Sounds like a linking problem, though Rob was talking about a fairly magic library-loading scheme that they use so there may be something odd we haven't found yet. > Current problems are: > > 1- Calc, Excel, and others FPE in fp87.c-- This bug is FreeBSD specific(?) Yup. I suspect the judicious application of fpsetmask() and friends will help with this one. With native x87 usage, this shouldn't be so bad. > 2- WinWord complains about SHARE.EXE not being loaded... Any ideas? Rob suggested that this may have been because your TEMP environment variable wasn't set. Apparently there are a few other problems there too. > Sujal -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "wherever you go, there you are" - Buckaroo Banzai [[
