  13. I just discovered two days ago that atof in 5.10b with ansi libraries
  14. is "broke".  I quote it because it just occured to me that it may be
  15. returning long double which the 5.10 compiler doesn't support.
  16. I'm compiling with -cfirst -f8 (and linking with approprate libraries);
  17. it returns 0 for "0" and "0.0" but returns things
  18. like 1.2423e+173 for things like "1.0".
  19.  
  20. Anyway, is it broke, and if so is it fixed?
  21. I've resorted to using sscanf in the meantime.
