  11. Why would the following bit of code give me a floating point overflow 
  12. when compiled as a Borland EasyWin target?
  13.  
  14. #include <iostream.h>
  15.  
  16. double someVar;
  17.  
  18. void main() {
  19.    cout << "Enter a float:";
  20.    cin >> someVar;   // Floating point error occurrs after pressing Enter
  21.                      // Works fine as a DOS app
  22. }
  23.  
  24. Thanks,
