The code compiles, links and runs completely in real mode. It is when I link and run with Phar Lap 286/Extender that I get the "floating point formats not linked" error. Adding the extern/pragma method did not resolve this issue. I am using Borland C++ 3.1 because that is what the code is written in and has been run in over the last 10 years. I would like not to have to port this code to some other compiler. I am trying to use Phar Lap 286/Extender because it has been the only 16-bit extender that works with Borland C++ that I have been able to obtain. The code is run on a single board computer running Datalight ROM DOS 6.22.
