Ok guys and gals.

I have a Altos 586 computer running 3.1a version of Xenix.  In
using the standard compiler that comes with the development set,
I found that I can only do mathmatical operations on shorts and
integers.  Floats, longs and doubles do not work.  Example:

main()
{
   int a;
   long b;

   a=0;b=0;
   a++;
   printf("a = %d\n",a);
   a = a + 1;
   printf("a = %d\n",a);
   b++;
   printf("b = %d\n",b);
   b = b + 1;
   printf("b = %d\n",b);
}

When run returns:

a = 1
a = 2
b = 0
b = 0

By the way, by using the sizeof command, I find that shorts and
integers take 2 bytes, longs and floats take 4 bytes and doubles
take 8 bytes.

I have looked in the compiler options to find out if there are
any floating point options.  There arn't, or at least none
documented.  Now I figure that you HAVE to be able to do this, so
what am I doing wrong?
