        Hi, All!

        Ok! Ok! Ok! I've already figured out the problem
was in conversion between double and int types. When I found
it I imediately put it in my code "(int)( ... +0.5)" to avoid 
this problem. Obviously, it is a simplest solution, but, it is not 
the solution to avoid this specific problem, the real reason
of my message. In fact, it is my contribution to help producing a  
more stable djgpp compiler.
        In my previous mail I wrote something else which nobody 
paid big attention to it, I wrote: 
 " I've made an upgrade of my application from V1.xx to V2.xx "
more precisely, in V1.xx I've used gcc v2.6.3 and DJGPP lib V1.12
where this type of conversions work properly. Now, with 
gcc V2.7.2.1 and DJGPP lib V2.01 it does not!!!
        Well, if it is not a problem in gcc compiler, I ask what has
changed since gcc V2.6.3 release?
        I still am not totally convinced, after all the explanations
that appeared in this news group.
       Tanks in advance!
