Stephen Trier (thanks, Stephen) of Smith Undergrad Lab, CWRU, Cleveland OH.
told me to put
exp(1);
in my program before the scanf, and this would solve the problem. It does!
I'm not going to try any harder than that to fix this bug!

I got it from Borland UK, who offer Borland products to students and
Educational establishments at ~ price, and Lab Packs (10 sets of discs, 1 set
of manuals) for ~ one third of the price for 10 full price copies.
The manuals say ver 2.0 on the title page, but the opening screen, and the
readme specify 2.01. The files are dated May 11, 89. The readme doesn't
indicate what differences there may be between 2.0 and 2.01.
