| 3201.1 | D floating vs. G floating? | HYDRA::NEWMAN | Chuck Newman, 508/467-5499 (DTN 297), MRO1-3/F26 | Fri Feb 14 1997 14:27 | 4 |
Smells like a floating point issue. Might it be the difference between default D floating on VAX and G floating on Alpha? -- Chuck Newman | |||||

Wrote little program here based on extract that he's faxed in, I can't reproduce the problem - it works the same on VAX and Alpha for me. Left message for customer to call me | |||||
