I'm having a little problem with BC++ and functions that I didn't use
the include files. For instance, I noticed using the fabs() function
would actually increase the variable I was getting the abs of by 90
until I added a #include <math.h> in the top of the .C file.
Why would this happen? I can't figure out why having a declaration (I
think that's the right word??) would affect how the function actually
works. I've noticed this a couple times tonight. I think the same thing
happened with atof(). Any ideas on this?? Is this a normal C happening
or a bug that needs to be reported to Borland?
