I believe you need to use the NewFloatMgr if you wish to use doubles and
floats. The old way used structures and function calls to do floating point
math.
Old way to add two floats:
FloatType Answer,a,b;
Answer = FplAdd(a, b);
New way:
float answer,a,b;
answer = a + b;
I'd use the NewFloatMgr simply because it is the way I'm use to working with
floating point numbers. The only drawback is there are no direct routines or
support to format and convert floats to strings.
