If you just need a proper rounding, you can look into ANY book which
contains a description of 8087/287/387 instructions and find the place where
the rounding setting is described. As far as I remember you must reset a
coprocessor with a parameter word. Then add just a one asm line into your
program and that's it. The problem however may occur if your TP program
performs multiple coprocessor resets. In this case add this statement just
as a first statement to the procedure, which performs rounding. It could be
dangerous to place a reset somewhere in the middle, because the program may
perform some optimization and use a variable in coprocessor stack, which
will be naturally lost after reset.
If you want to discover the problem, then it may become a valuable
