Please - no more - Oh-little-boys-please-link-with-lcm.lib.
The FACTS:
- Using Lattice C 5.02
- Including <math.h> or <m68881.h> with appropriate math libraries linked in
        before lc.lib

PROBLEM: atof() works - But how do you print it out? printf() with the %f or
%g option does not seem to work.- Bug ?

Thanks in advance for any help. - Scott McIntire
