I'm a beginner with C++ and I just started with DJGPP. 
As a little exercise I've written a stupid little "program" which 
should read a "real number" as a long double and write this number 
back to the screen again. But what I get back is just "-NaN". 
How can I convince the program that e.g. 1.13245  is indeed a number ??

I am using a pentium and win95 and run DJGPP in a DOS box. 

Thans for help.
