Decstation-5000 Ultrix-4.2

gcc version 2.3.3


the code does the  same "Inf" game  when compiled with the ultrix  f77
and  f2c.  i've made the  "finite"  change to the  g++ math.h include.
any clues?

i can  use the binaries   you provide if i   can somehow configure the
location of the scripts directory.
