I am writing some code which needs to handle numbers larger than a double is capable of (1e308). I have tried to use long doubles (80 bits) but can't seem to get them to work. The result of any operation on two long doubles is NAN. I am using GCC 2.7.0 on Linux kernel version 1.3.45. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ---- Brian Humpherys ift.ee.byu.edu -- ---- Brian Humpherys humpherb@ift.ee.byu.edu or 74774.434@Compuserve.Com
