(I tested the library by building tetris and it seems to work just fine). Now, my application is "coredumping" with the cygwin except handler saying something about float point exception (inaccurate result?) BTW, I have a working version of this application running under DJGPP v 1.12m4 and Xlibemu (and it has been ported to most unix boxes). Question: How can I trap these exceptions? If it is what I think, an inaccurate small number is not a reason for stopping execution (in my case). Any help greatly appreciated.
