When I use cin in a program to enter a number like 1.1 it returns a floating
point overflow, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with division by zero
at least not in the code I have written, mayby it's in a lib somewhere but
that doesn't make sense also I guess.

I use borland C++ 5.01 and have the path installed I'm programming an
Easywin appl. Since I wasn't able to install the program under XP (mayby
someone knows how to do this??) I'm running it in win98se

Funny thing is the compiled prog only gives the error running it under win98
under XP it works fine.

So if anyone knows
a. to install borland c++ under XP, or
b. to prevent the floating point overflow in win98

I would be helped a lot
