Can someone send me the current phone number and/or address
for Microport if they are still in business?  

Believe it or not, I still have 2.3 on this 286.  I have other
machines now, but hardware and 286 dependent code compiled and
running on this machine for a long time to come. 

Can anyone tell me if revision 2.4 fixes "double" braindamage?
For example, if you use sdb to list a double variable, more often
than not, the machine panics.  Also, any sort of double arithmetic
stands a 20% chance of crashing the system.  It particularly hates
code like:

	some_double = (double) (-some_int / 65536.0);

Thanks in advance,
Robert White
