In that case, the Borland compiler is entirely useless for any code
which makes non-trivial use of floating-point arithmetic.

Even if this particular issue can be worked around, you are likely to
encounter similar issues time and time again.

Any compiler written by someone who doesn't understand that x/y and
x*(1/y) aren't equivalent simply isn't worth the disk space it
occupies.
