This file lists all known problems and bugs that should be fixed in
oo2c.  It doesn't address any non-oo2c related installation problems.
For every item a short description, a workaround, and the email
address of the responsible developer is listed.

Any help to solve these problems is appreciated.

Problem: oo2c 1.3.1+ floating point troubles on SunOS 4(?) 
Reported by: grieblm@trt.allied.com

Description:
During installation the compiler aborts with an error message "Number
out of range" in LowReal.Mod.  This is most likely caused by an error
in SunOS's libc functions for conversion from string to real values.
There were no further reports for other systems.  oo2c is known to
compile on a Solaris 2.6 machine.

Workaround:
Take the oo2c distrib and replace all RealConv files (.Mod, .c, .d,
.h) with their counterparts from 1.3.0 before running "make".

Date: since ancient times
Problem: Error reporting of math libraries does not match the manual

Description:
The current implementation of the math modules does not report errors
as described in the OOC Reference Manual.  It uses a proprietary
mechanism to signal errors, instead of raising the required
exceptions.

Workaround:
None.
