That is, ideally, what I'd like to do. Floating-point base conversions are not really my bag. I do, however, have a copy of Plauger's _The Standard C Library_ that does a good job of explaining the issues. I'll read it over again this afternoon and see how hard it would be. -- "To the engineer, the world is a toy box full of sub-optimized and feature-poor toys." --Scott Adams _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
