So this is a version-dependent for Free42. I remember about 8 years ago (while working on the 41Z project) I corresponded w/ Thomas about this issue and he agreed it wasn't the correct result and sent me an update... maybe it was never turned into the "official" code?

Interested to see how will this one be dealt with now.

BTW the 15C and the 15C-LE both return +1 in case you had doubts...

Yes it's obviously version-dependant. There are 2 flavors of Free42 for Windows, binary and decimal. I just checked the binary version returns "1" while the decimal-version returns "-1" as does Free42 on my Android devices.

From the Free42-Readme:"Free42 Decimal uses the Intel Decimal Floating-Point Math Library"
I think the DM42 also uses this library, perhaps this explains something, I don't know what is correct.
