Within a graphics based application written using Turbo C 2.0 I use 
sprintf("%f ...., but when the program gets there it aborts and prints
the run-time error message "printf : floating point formats not linked". 
The program runs correctly if I remove this line.

I found no documentation on run-time errors, and couldn't find any compiler 
or linker switches that mentioned floating point formats or printf. I'm 
linking all of the required libraries as far as I can tell (cs, maths, 
f87, emu, graphics). 

Just for fun I put a printf("%f\n",1.0) as the first line in the program, 
and got the same error.

Has anyone ever seen this?
