- Having written and run a quite complex program, I find that it
- works perfectly on my 386/22 every time, but fails on my friends
- 486 with acos domain error.

- Is there any good reason why a C compiled program will always run
- on its host machine but cause a problem on a non host, if so how
- does one locate and correct such an error? Apart from compile it
- on the non host machine!
