Mike, using Manx V5.0, I'm having trouble with the -f8/-lm8 compile/link option. Programs that work fine using -ff/-lmf and -fa/-lma won't work right when I try to use my 68881. Adding the -c2 and -mcd options and the appropriate "l" linker options doesn't change the result. Am I doing something dumb? As best I can isolate my -f8/-lm8 problem, the trouble seems to be truncated input of floats and doubles using scanf(). Rob.
