At a quick glance, dtoa.java has very little resemblance to dtoa.c as shown here: http://www.netlib.no/netlib/fp/dtoa.c . If I'm wrong about this, please say where the resemblances are (other than the fact that they do the same thing, which is no indication.) As far as I can see, dtoa.c was based on the work in the following paper: http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/doc/90/4-10.ps.gz . Perhaps dtoa.java is based on the same work. Gerv
