- Do you realise that sprintf(3) MUST call in ALL of the floating
- point functions to deal with 64, 80, 96 bit precision IEEE? I believe that
- there is a version of the ANSI library that has printf(3) functions that
- do not allow floating point calcs. If not, then hack the code for the ANSI
- library to remove them.

- Try doing a program in AT&T 'C'!
