Hello,

we are running  Logitech's M2 compiler on an Olivetti M24 (MS-Dos 2.11)
with 8087 coprocessor.

Programs that perform "division by zero" on real-numbers seem to hang
until BREAK is pressed.

We use the direct Real-Libraries. The Compiler is revision 2.0.

Has anybody out there also seen this behaviour?
Is this the correct ("say planned") behaviour?
What can we do against this behaviour ? We would like to see a error-message.

Regards
