Hi, netters:
  
    I have received some advices about my cry for help. I am trying to
provide more information. For the DJGPP version 1.07, it is a 486DX
machine with MSDOS 5.0. I use the basic developing environment for 
DJGPP ver 1.07. For the DJGPP version 1.05, it is a 386DX with a weitek
math-coprocessor but somehow the compiler doesn't know its existence, so
I use the emulator emu387. Possibly this is the reason why it does not
work (it worked on a simpler model before). Wait a minute. I used the 
function 'pow(double, double)' in the more complicated model. Is it 
possible that this function might cause some problem? I didn't notice
DJGPP ver 1.07 gave me significantly different results on the same but
simpler model. I have no access to a workstation. I do have access to
the university mainframe, but I would like to save the limited computing
funds for bigger projects. I will settle for the 486 for developing,   
debugging, and small projects. 

   Thank you all. BTW, one netter suggested that I use 'lint' to see
if I misused the casts. Please forgive my ignorance, but what's 'lint'?
I have been quite careful in using casts, but I will go through my 
programs carefully again to look for any possible misuse of casts. 

    Good night.
