	I wonder whether anyone can tell me about the "divide overflow" message
in MS-DOS.
	Lately, my PC has been kicking me out of an application and leaving me
at a dark screen with a message reading "divide overflow" -- any explanation of
what this means would be gratly appreciated.
	My PC has a V-20 chip and DOS ver. 3.3

Please respond via e-mail to:  valv@midway.uchicago.edu
