Hi,
     I have been having trouble getting the .exe file created by a c
file I wrote to work. The c file compiles without any trouble, and I can
run it from Rhide (v 1.4). When I try to run the exe file outside of
Rhide, however, it crashes after getting through the first 500 lines or
so - i.e. into the main loop of the program. I get an error message
saying:
Shutting down Allegro
Exiting due to signal SIGFPE
Floating point exception at eip=00016054
followed by memory addresses which don't point to any crucial part of my
program.
     If needed, I can attach the c file or the program, but they're both
somewhat large (100 Kb and a 1.3 MB zip file, respectively). I have
tried running the program on several different computers with the same
results (all in Win95, running about a P166). I also tried adding a
floating point emulator to the exe (adding -lemu to the linker command
line).
     Thanks for your help.
