If I comment out the #include <math.h> from the program below then the
program compiles and links without any errors or warnings. The results are:-
    date = 52.680000
    date = 51.680000
    decimalPart = 1072705824.000000
    wholePart = 1077938047.000000
    down = 1077939071.000000

If I include the #inclue <math.h> from the program below then the program
compiles and links without any errors or warnings. The results are:-
    date = 52.680000
    date = 51.680000
    decimalPart = 0.680000
    wholePart = 51.000000
    down = 52.000000

These results are correct....

Does anyone know why I would get wrong results, but no error messages if I
do not include math.h? I would have expected to get error messages
indicating a problem rather than a bad exe.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <dir.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <limits.h>
int main()
{
    double date;
    double decimalPart = 0.0;
    double wholePart = 0.0;
    double down;

    date = 52.68;

    printf("date = %f\n", date);
    decimalPart = fmod( date, 1.0 );
    date -= 1.0;
    wholePart = (double) floor( date);
    down = ceil(date);

    printf("date = %f\n", date);
    printf("decimalPart = %f\n", decimalPart);
    printf("wholePart = %f\n", wholePart);
    printf("down = %f\n", down);

}
