Charles or anyone who wants to answer:

I downloaded v2 the other day (beta 5 of cwsdpmi and beta 2 of dj)
and I got the above problem.  So I did what you said and added the
line to my djgpp.env.  But even with the change the problem still
exists. Here is how I create it with the test/examples:

C:\DJGPP\TESTS\DXE>make
gcc     dxetest.c   -o dxetest
Exiting due to signal SIGNOFP
Coprocessor not available at eip=0000ca0c
eax=00000000 ebx=00000000 ecx=0005f260 edx=0000a324 esi=0005c1cc \
	edi=0001c400
ebp=0005c3e4 esp=0005c1cc cs=0107 ds=010f es=010f fs=00e7 \
	gs=012f ss=010f
Call frame traceback EIPs:
  0x0000ca0c
  0x0000aa58
make.exe: *** [dxetest] Error 255


No matter what I try, I seem not to be able to get it to work. I
have a 25MHz 486 with 4megs and I tried it both in windows and
DOS.  Any Ideas?

Thanks Alot in advance,
Chuck Reber
