Hi netters,
	I havec been working with a friend developing some code using
Turbo C++ V1.5 but only writing in standard C. We have been getting an error
with a particular piece of code, namely

	fscanf(fp,"%f", &f);

	The runtime error is

	scanf: floating point formats not linked.
	Abnormal Program termination.

	Can some one shed some light on what this means? I can compile some 
	other code with the same statement and yet have no errors. I am
	quite confused!!

Hope someone out there can help.

Regards

CON NERI
