  13. I think you forgot to include the <stdlib.h> header file, as 
  14. my strtod(3C) man page suggests.  I'm using SVR4.2.  The 
  15. inclusion of the header file probably tells C what type to expect
  16. from aotf.  Without it, the compiler guesses (incorrectly).
  17.  
  18. hope this helps.  good luck.
