Our gcc is version is 1.35.

I'm programming using ANSI-C, shouldn't the following be format of the
floating point constant for 0?

0f+0

My Turbo-C handles this fine, but GCC won't accept this with the error
message: "nondigits in number and not hexadecimal".  Changing the 0f+0 to
0.0 alleviates the problem, but I think that makes it a double constant and
not a float constant.

Please EMAIL responses as I don't read this newsgroup.  Thanks for your time.

By the way, thanks for a wonderful compiler, debugger, and editor!!
