Question: What do you mean program is off?

for me:
5/0 shows: EZeroDivide (correct)
5/0.02 shows: 250 (correct)

FARR is off and I have to run it again.

for me:
5/0 shows: EZeroDivide (correct)

5/0.02 shows: 250 (correct)

I type 5/0.  -> off
I type 5/0, _> off too

ah, you mean farr is crashing and exiting for you in those cases!
seems it must be the divide by zero causing it to crash, but it shouldn't crash it should just report the divideby zero

let's check your version. do this:

type fc `

to clear history and show the version.

now tell me what version it says you have of fcalc.

Latest is: FCalc - 1.11.01 (Feb 14th, 2012) by mouser <mouser@donationcoder.com>

so, first things first -- get yourself the latest version and let me know if problem persists.

you might as well get the latest farr too, but the only thing you need for this is the latest FCALC plugin:

1) I off FARR.
2) download the specified file
3) unpack it to FARR/Plugins/Fcal (replace old files) and run FARR
4) i have FCalc - 1.11.01 (Feb 14th, 2012) by mouser <mouser@donationcoder.com>
5) but nothing has changed - FARR crash after type fc 5/0, (5/0 5/0 = EStackOverflow)

In the evening, I'll try to update all the FARR. How to update the portable version to keep the settings?

I installed the latest version FARR (2.213.01). It did not help. Error still is. The computer is 5 years old. I have Windows XP SP2 or SP3 (?)

I have a second computer. There have Windows 7. There FCal counted correctly and the crash does not appear.
