The best help I can provide is to suggest that you spend the money & update to
the most recent version of Turbo C (++). I had similar problems about a year
ago, and was unable to get a resolution from Borland. I do remember that for
TC 2.0, there were some patches available from Borland which included a linkage
problem with floats - if I recall correctly, if a float wasn't declared in the
function (File??) where you used the global variable, then the float routines
were not linked in and the program blew up.
