Hi!

----

[This is slightly offtopic for ksh93 (or better: It may be interesting
for the C99 math stuff... or not...)]

Question for our standard+compiöer experts:
C99 defines |HUGE_VAL|, |HUGE_VALF| and |HUGE_VALL| but there seems to
be no |ishugeval()| function (at least /usr/include/iso/math_c99.h
doesn't have such a function) to probe for this value while |NaN| and
|+Inf|/|-Inf| have such probing functions (e.g. |isinf()|, |isnan()|) -
is that an oversight in the C99 standard or something obmitted
intentional ? 

----

Bye,
Roland
