  This is a known bug.  There is a fix for it (available on Simtel20 and
probably from Borland).  Until you get it put a line like
  (void)exp(1.0);
in your main().  It's ugly but it does get the FP formats loaded.

   This is a new one on me.  Is some one messing up the .cfg or .tc
configuration files?   Any more details?  If you are using TC regularly
I suggest that you subscribe to TURBOC-L.  There are a fair number of
users subscribed to it and if there is a known bug you are running into
someone will know about it.  There is also a bug list maintained there.
( Oh send a one line mail message (the one line is "help") to
listserv@ucf1vm.bitnet for more info)
