In the current Reference manual, the function FlpFToA is stated as
converting a floating-point number to an ASCII string in scientific notation
of the form: "[-]x.yyyyyyye[-]zz". I have a floating point conversion
routine that depends on locating the "e" in the string, which up through
PalmOS 4 was always there regardless of the floating point value. However,
in PalmOS 5, a floating-point value of zero now gets converted to the string
"0". This might make sense to whoever changed the function, but it caused my
application to return an error. Easy to fix, but something to watch out for!
