- Purpose
- =======
-
- Kickstart 40.68 has a bug on 68040 systems. The functions IEEESPMul() and
- IEEESPDiv() of the "mathieeesingbas.library" crash due to invalid FPU
- instructions.
-
- MathIEEESingBasPatch will fix this problem by replacing the faulty
- functions with calls to the proper FPU commands.
-
-
- Installation
- ===========
-
- Just copy "MathIEEESingBasPatch" to any directory you like and add a line
- like "MathIEEESingBasPatch >NIL:" to your "User-Startup".
-
