Unless someone speaks up to save Python/fmod.c, I'll remove this file in a few days.

Thanks Paul!

Hi all,

Is there any need for Python/fmod.c any more? I can't see how it can be included because there's no test for fmod in the ./configure script and grepping all files in the tree for fmod.c finds nothing except a commented out line in PC/os2vacpp/makefile.omk If it is needed, it needs fixing as it gives the wrong answer for x>=0 and y<0. Eg: fmod(0, -1) returns 1 rather than 0. (The comment in fmod.c is correct: it should return f such that x = i*y + f for some integer i, st |f| < |y| and f has the same sign as x). I'm happy to patch it, but I won't if it would be better just to remove the file. -- Paul Hankin
