I have a problem - I need to trap floating point errors from the floating
point hardware. Currently, I am using signal() to do this, but signal doesn't
give me some of the information I need. I assume that the 80n87 and the
emulator (EMU.LIB) both generate an interrupt in the event of a floating
point exception. My question is, what interrupt is generated, and if the
ISR for that interrupt is shared, what do I need to check on the PIC to
determine the source of the interupt?  One of the things I want, which
I can't get out of signal, is the CS:IP at the time of the exception, 
so that I can point the finger at a specific routine.
 
Thanx, in advance,

Steve
