    OOOPS! Sorry Stephen...


    I forgot to say... NEWMAT is available on Simtel:

  oak.oakland.edu:

   /pub/msdos/cpluspls/newmat07.zip

   And, yes, it's public domain... My system is a 486DX33 VL-BUS, VGA Cirrus Logic
CL-5424 with VESA extensions, 8Mb RAM, about 200Mb of free disk space, running
DJGPP 1.11m5 since long time ago... BTW, I guess the problem is not in DJGPP,
but in the class definition...
