- Standard speech. comp.os.ms-windows.programmer or
- comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 are much better places to post
- questions relating to the specifics of Windows 95 programs,
- configurations, etc.

- This is the first I have heard of 'floating point' bugs in any
- version of BC++. Is it possible that the numbers you are trying to
- enter are larger/smaller than the BCC++ 'float' datatype can store?
- Are you using Microsoft compatible 'floats' or IEEE compatible
- 'floats'? etc, etc. Do you have a buggy Pentium? It is difficult to
- respond meanifully to questions of a general nature. Code snippets
- help others to help you.

- (Alas, I did not correct your spelling of 'serious' just in case this
- post might get lost. :)
