Subject:	pow(-2,3) bug, missing clock()
Reply-To:	kunst AT prl DOT philips DOT nl

Hello DJ,

I am a new user to DJGPP, so forgive me asking perhaps old questions:

    (1) I have DJGPP version 1.05. What is the latest version ?
        How can I obtain newer versions without FTP access ?

I have found a bug and a missing function; have they already
been solved in the newer versions of DJGPP ?

    (2) The pow(x,y) function crashes (Exception 117) on
        negative x values, e.g. pow(-2,3).
        Is this an old bug ?
        (Note: the 'libsrc/m/exp.s' file in my distribution
         was changed by 'roberto AT germinal DOT ibp DOT fr' on 03-Apr-1991)

    (3) The 'clock_t clock(void)' function seems to be absent.
        Not very practical for benchmarking...

    (4) Is there a DPMI version of go32 in the making ?

    (5) I have extended my version of go32 with a driver for a
	PC-to-VME interface board. (16M VME access in DJGPP) 
	Would anyone else be interested ?

Thanks for any response !

PS: (6) why is life a banana ?
