- Out of curiosity I checked with SPARA and MS-FORTRAN 5.0. I split
- the file into 3 files of approximately the same size, and compiled
- with the -FPi87 -G2 -AL -Od switches. I got:
-
- No failures, defects nor flaws have been discovered.
- Rounding appears to conform to proposed IEEE standard
- The arithmetic diagnosed appears to be Excellent!
- End of test
-
- Again 2.0 crashed, and this time DOS crashed as well. Only 1.3
- survived.
