A "Floating Point Error" may occur when using an Inboard 386 that does
not have a math coprocessor with QuickBASIC Version 4.00b or 4.50. The
error occurs when the Inboard 386 is configured as though it has a
math coprocessor when it does not have one. Configuring the board
properly solves the problem.
This information also applies to the Microsoft BASIC Compiler Version
6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
The "Floating Point Error" does not occur with QuickBASIC Version 4.00
because the presence of the coprocessor is detected differently than
it is in Versions 4.00b and 4.50.
