Pentium FPU Tester


With all the recent interest in the Pentium FPU bug,
I decided to put together a quick Visual Basic program
to allow testing systems without having to load Excel, or
break out a compiler, etc.  You must have VBRUN300.DLL.

It's short, and to the point.  Pressing test causes
the equation:

x-(x/y)*y where x=4195835 y=3145727

to be calculated.  A result of 0 means all went well.
PASS will be displayed on correct results, FAIL on errors.

No warranty express or implied, use the results at your own risk.
(In other words, if you decide to throw away your financial database
because this says your FPU is bad - that's on your head, not mine)

This software is FreeWare.  Use it at home, use it at work, use it
wherever you like, as long as you don't charge a fee for it other
than to cover distribution costs.

Enjoy,
Brian Daniels
