I guess they didn't teach you IEEE-754-compliant floating point maths in
school. You may find it informative to google some/any/all/none of the
following terms:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /artimi/firmware> grep FE_ /usr/include/mingw/fenv.h | grep
0x0.00
#define FE_TONEAREST 0x0000
#define FE_DOWNWARD 0x0400
#define FE_UPWARD 0x0800
#define FE_TOWARDZERO 0x0c00
