I am trying to use the glue routine, StrToExt, but my Mac bombs everytime.
As suggested in the Mac Prog. Primer, I am using 

StrToExt( paramPtr, StrPtr, *double);
			     ^^^^^^ ----> instead of extended as in Bond's book.

Has anybody succesfully used this function?

Is there a C function that will convert a string to a float, and that can be 
used in a XFCN?

Any help will be appreciated.

Pablo
