floating point multiplication
 
Hi,



Recently I've been tryin to multiply two 64 bit variables in Assembly language using the FPU.

Now I go like

finit
fld var1
fld var2
fmul
fwait
fstp result

call display ;a function for displaying the result variable

all I get is either equal to var1 or 0

I does not multiply
say var1 = 4 var2 = 2
I should get 8, but I get 4

I use MASM 6.11 (I will try NASM out, but its part of a project which has to be done on Windoze)
Floating point addition and subtraction works fine
