Hello!

I would like to know if there is anyone
else out there who uses PMODE/DJ and
Allegro at the same time to make
programs. I need help, just some clear
explanation would do. I followed the
instructions for linking pmodstub.exe to
the coff image generated by gcc. I
linked it with the excustom.c example
Allegro program. When I first ran it on
a plain x386 machine with MS-DOS, it
crashed with a SIGNOFP (no
floating-point coprocessor). The machine
I tested it on doesn't have a math
coprocessor. So I checked the code for
excustom.c and found that it only uses
fixed-point math routines in
Allegro. Should be no problem here. When
I linked the program with floating-point
emulation library, I had no problem
running it.

I would like to know whether PMODE/DJ
uses the floating point coprocessor to
function properly and thus requires one
to be present. So, who's responsible for
the SIGNOFP? Was it Allegro or
pmodstub.exe? I would also like to know,
if I want to use a compressor like UPX,
do I really need to pad the executable
to fit into a 512 byte boundary?

Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
in advance.
