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!
