Well, I suppose it doesn't matter, but then I wasn't sure if it did or =
not... not that I was trying to be nit-picky mind you, Euphoria is =
excellent; but I guess that nan thing still strikes me as odd.
I think I will send Intel that email.

I tested your example with a small C program. I got -nan
using hardware (Pentium) floating-point. I guess you should
complain to Intel 
When you are dealing with nan's, does it really
matter whether you have -nan or +nan. Either way the
result is "not a number", "undefined", "doesn't exist" etc.
If it's not even a number, how can -1 * "not a number"
have any meaning?
