FplAtoF converts from a string to a "FloatType". However, that's in the "old"
Floating Point Manager, the header to which I don't think Palm even ships any
more. Perhaps Igor means FlpAtoF, which converts from a string to a
"FlpDouble".
I think that an FlpDouble can be converted to a double using the FlpCompDouble
type. That is:
double myDouble;
FlpDouble myFlpDouble;
FlpCompDouble myConverter;
myFlpDouble = FlpAtoF("1.234");
myConverter.fd = myFlpDouble;
myDouble = myConverter.d;
