- Re: floating point overflow errors when using >> operator to get floating
- poing numbers in BC++ 4.51 and 4.52
-
- I had the same problem under Windows 95. My solution:
-
- from the c:\
-
- type "deltree windows"
-
- go to store and buy Windows NT Workstation 3.51 (if you're a
- student you can get it cheap -- well, cheaper)
-
- problem magically goes away
-
-
- It seems to be a Windows 95 bug, not a Borland bug. I've also heard some
- people mention the possibility that Plus! might be the true source of the
- error (something about System Agent messing up FP calculations).
-
- I also had Plus! installed with Windows 95, but didn't try removing it or
- disabling System Agent.
