Hello,

	I am porting a big fortran code from sun (solaris)
to PCs running linux (much faster). I have tried the -ffloat-store
option and some other things to get the same precision as with
the suns but I couldn't get the programs yielding the same
numbers up to the fifth decimal position as I need.

	I don't know how to compile and link this

#include </usr/include/fpu_control.h>
{
  fpu_control_t cw = (_FPU_DEFAULT & ~_FPU_EXTENDED) | _FPU_DOUBLE;
  _FPU_SETCW(cw);
}

	with my programs and I don't know also if this will
help. Could you please tell me if I there is something different
that would work better for me?

Thank you very much.

Bruno.
