How about not using FlpFToA and convert the number yourself.
You could use two integers to represent the number and then use standard
integer formatting for output. Just convert the float to an integer
representing the part of the number above 0 plus an integer representing the
part less than 0.
Search www.egroups.com for tons of previously posted sample code on this
topic.
