Kinmonth) Organization: University of California, Davis Lines: 34 GENERAL QUESTION: Where can I get lists of known bugs in Turboc and Quick C? Alternatively, where can I get lists of the constructs and routines in each known to perform precisely as documented? Presumably the latter will be shorter than the former. :) SPECIFIC QUESTION(1): Is the spawn* command of Quick-C known to be buggy? I have programs that compile and run under TURBOC that use spawnlp without problem. These same programs break when compiled with Quick-C. SPECIFIC QUESTION(2): Are there known bugs in the medium model floating point library of TURBOC? I have a large program that compiles and runs under XENIX (small, middle), MSC (middle), and TURBOC (small). Under TURBOC (middle), I get a fixup error. This appears to be related to the total size of the code, not what's actually in it. I can mask off various portions of the code that have something (or nothing) to do with floating point and it will compile. E H. Kinmonth Hist. Dept.
