In Mr Cho's defence, I would like to point out that the SDK
reference (pages 573 to 578) give all the floating point API's with
prefixes "Fpl" and not "Flp". Mr. Cho didn't transpose the
characters; the SDK did.
I thank him for bring up this problem, as it is a trap I would
surely have fallen into a few days hence.
Sincerely
H.D. Valliant
