Current version of FPULIB.

[hutch--]

While I would always recommend that you check Ray's site for the latest version, this version is stored locally on the UK server for members who may not be able to download files from a server in the US.

Thanks Steve.  :U

Just an info:

My first test of this lib (latest version from author site) revealed a serious bug:

FpuFLtoA doesn't work with negative exponents !

Would you be kind enough to provide an example of the data you are trying to convert and the instruction (line of code) you used.

Hi Raymond,

I suspect that ratu's post might have something to do with encouraging people to click your download link for FPULIB v2_33. It comes up with a Page Not Found window, and when you close the window you get a dialog that asks if you want to set your home page to...

[dedndave]

that doesn't sound like "negative exponents" - lol
but, he should give us the value he tried to convert and what he expected for output   :P

It comes up with a Page Not Found window

I just tried it directly from the site and got it without any problem. Have you experienced yourself what you reported?

[juozas]

and when you close the window you get a dialog that asks if you want to set your home page to...

This seemz to be a very suspicious. Did you check your pc for viruses, etc? Normally it shouldn't happen. What the browser btw?

Have you experienced yourself what you reported?

Yes, I would not have posted this if I could not get it to repeat. Now that I test further, if I paste the url in the address bar I can get the zip:

http://www.ray.masmcode.com/downloads/Fpulib2_33.zip

But if I just click the link on your page I get what I reported, and in recent times I have not observed this sort of behavior anywhere else.

I get the download either way.... What webpage link pointing to the zip is at fault?

I'm sorry Michael.... I cant seem to replicate your problem.... I know how frustrating website problems can be with only one tester but maybe Raymond will have more luck....

With regard to the negative exponent bug I have not tested....

[dedndave]

hmmmm - check you hosts file, Michael (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc)
the url may have been hijacked
otherwise, use HiJackThis to see if it has somehow been redirected

[MichaelW]

The only problems with negative exponents that I find are at the extreme small end of the REAL10 range.

And BTW I also tested with the 19 digits reduced to 15, and this did not change the results.

Dave,

My hosts file contains only the localhost entry. I started out trying to download the library so I could test, but when I ran into the problem and verified that it was not just a temporary malfunction, I thought I should report what was happening. Apparently it's only a problem on my end.
