A further SAS/C double question (since I can't get hold of them on the
weekend).
I am reading an ASCII file that contains columns of data w/ a construct
like:

FILE *fp;
float *num1,*num2,*num3;
int n;

[...]
num1 = (float *)AllocMem(sizeof(float), MEMF_PUBLIC|MEMF_CLEAR);
etc...
n = fscanf(fp,"%e%e%e\n",num1,num2,num3);

[...]


This works like a charm. But when I replace "float" with "double"
everywhere it gives me total garbage. I don't know if the problem is
with me (programming error), compiler settings or a compiler bug. 
Thanks for any help.
