Subject: Floating point math.

I'm having a problem using FP math with DJGPP 2.0. (If this is a 
previously reported bug, just let me know. I personally am not sure 
I'm coding this correctly) Anyway, I'm trying to subtract cmin.r from 
cmax.r (both float values in a two member structure) and assign it to 
a float, a.

A snippet follows
a=(cmax.r-cmin.r)

Whatever I do, a is always the trash value the program starts with! 
I've tried explicit typecasting:
a=(float)((cmax.r)-(cmin.r));

to no avail. Any help would be _greatly_ appreciated. I'm running a 
486dx/66, and am linking /w libgrx20 and libm.

Thanks,
Jeff
