I have a little problem.
When I try to perform following code:

main()
{
double a = 0.0, b;

  b = 1./a;
  printf("b==%lf\n", b);
}

my program exits and I get "Floating Point exception".
Is there any way to cause that my program not to stop after
division by zero.
I have tried the same in "Visual C++ 5.0" and it didn't exit,
as the result i got:
b==1.#INF00

I use gcc v2.6.3 and go32 v1.12. I know that version is no longer
supported but maybe the same problem occurs in djgpp v2.

Thanks, Tom Chojnacki
