My only comment here is that we may be catering to a compiler error and 
perhaps it may be more important to suggest to Borland that *they* should 
look into the problem.

What bothers me is that the original code seems to be working fine on most 
other systems and only one failure has occurred. ---so far.

If there is a rounding modema problem there should be some expectation of 
a "normal" setting.
