Re: Installation

From jean@ariel.ucsf.edu Tue Aug 13 17:00:28 1996 Subject: Re: Installation > Does this environment sometimes cause numerical calculation problems? A couple of thoughts: - If you are using the Plus! package (from Microsoft) for Win95, either DO NOT use the "system agent" provided in this package, or get the newest SAGE.DLL from Microsoft. The sage.dll of "system agent" has been reported to created problems with FPU aware programs (like Excel). - Did you use the installation procedure written by Alison Boeckman (available on davide bourne PK site for example)? If not start over. (look especially in BLKDAT.for in the NM directory) - use /G5 /Oxp for you compiler options. G5 is Pentium optimisation, /Oxp is for speed optimisation while providing numerical consistency (it saves the intermediate results). Hope this will help - Best regards - Jean-Michel Gries UCSF jean@c255.ucsf.edu
