What is the problem with fdopen?  The only problem I noticed
was that errno would be set to ENOTTY because of a bug (now fixed)
in isatty.

The strtod from libflt is off (roundoff) by a couple of bits
compared to (the correct) scanf from estdio.  I borrowed
strtod from libfp and wrote a couple of support routines
that I believe give good results.  I sent those out as libfp
a couple of days ago.  Notice that you should reload Bruce's as
and also gcc with the new version.
