Thank you very much sven! This is old code, and uses Extended and Comp, so
the xBase files are byte for byte compatible with Visual FoxPro. Most of
xBase is ASCII, However, uSoft in their wisdom started storing binary
formats when they bought out FoxBase and said, 20 byte ASCII or 4 byte
binary - x

Because the old x87 style fpu is deprecated for good reasons.

Following the code further along, I am storing the COMP to disk... if I
change to INT64, it is not storing the same value as the COMP field was.
Any suggestions?
Also, this part of the project is for dBase.com and Visual FoxPro
compatibility. So, I cannot go off reservation. Why exactly is FPC WIN
So, should I re-code everything to Double where possible? And Comp at Int64
no problem, that is how my Turbo Pascal build works (except I am using
Int64 = Record (DWord, DWord)).
Thanks for the help!

A few years ago I acquired IP rights to Halcyon (xBase for Delphi/FPC). For
years, I have not had an issue, today, I am recompiling the suite (zero
code changes) - 3.0.4 Linux - no problems, 3.0.4 Mac - no problems.
However, 3.0.4 Windows - I am getting:
