Problem is of course, that it is not a floating point error.
It is an execution error somewhere in the compiler leading to distorted values. |

| Valid, but how then how do we pose the question to get the best answer do you think? |

Kinda curious...
why do you use a MAC when CCS was developed for a PC ? |

On how to ask, you would have to work through the compiler assembler
to find what is being executed, and post this. This CCS might be able to
help with by giving the source code for that small section, and what compiler
they use. I have a feeling I worked it out a while ago, as Delphi.
Jay, we always tend to upgrade to faster and more capable chips.
Historical compatibility, may get sacrificed on the way. The M series chips
are very capable of graphics, but their performance in other areas is less
impressive. Their power consumption is better than the Intel systems,
but unless you are going to throw all your old software, you are dependant
on how good the emulation abilities are. Most issues are with timings and
peripheral support. Must admit I've not found one yet with basic execution
of i386 code. This is the first example I have seen. |

| I use a Mac because of XCode and app development. Before i started building Apps, I always used a PC. Apple makes things difficult when using XCode and the Apps store on a PC. It may be better now , but when i started you needed an Apple for all of that. So I have just stuck with it. |

The MAC is a PC. When referring to a PC above, it is actually referring to a PC running Windows. CCS has been around a very long time running on early iterations of Windows. The processors in use at that time are no longer supported by the current version of Windows. Anything written to run natively on Windows when CCS was developed, would not run on today's version of Windows. Funnily enough, Linux, which also runs on a PC, will run on much older generation processors than are supported either by Apple or Microsoft.
Asking why would you use a Mac running MacOS instead of Windows is like asking why you would drive a car when the road was designed for the horse and buggy
