{$floatcalls-}, 8087.LIB, and No Coprocessor in Pascal 3.32 PSS ID Number: Q22513 Article last modified on 03-01-1991 PSS database name: S_PasCal

3.32

MS-DOS

Summary:

When a Pascal version 3.32 program that has been compiled with {$floatcalls-} and linked with 8087.LIB is run on a machine without a math coprocessor, it does not print out the error message “Floating Point Not Loaded.” Instead, it either hangs the machine or prints out a file system error.

This problem was corrected in Pascal version 4.00 for MS-DOS.
