While you're at it, while scanning over the code, I think there was a problem
with dealing with a result of "0". The code to calculate the resulting string's
length would end up with 1, instead of 2 (one for the digit, and one for the
NULL).
By the way, I'm having a hard time understanding the requirements for your
function. What's with the decNum struct? What's with the private string->number
converter (GetDecFromString)? Why not just call FlpAToF? And did you know that
you never use the "places" parameter?

Thanks! I was wondering about that, and it completely skipped my mind.
