Andrew,

BlackBox has to set the FPU control word in a special way because it
delegates the LONGINT arithmetic to the FPU. So, be careful if you change
those settings and still want to do LONGINT operations afterwards.

Best regards,

Hello,

        does anyone know what the FPU control word is? Does BlackBox change
the value of the FPU control word? If so is there a way to stop it being
changed?

Regards
