I just found a bug with ThinkC's scanf(). 

float number;

void main()
{
  scanf("%lf",number);
}

put 0.03 and you get 0.3 for number.  Seems that it skips the leading 0
even when they are after a decimal point.

I gather that there is a patch for several bugs in scanf().  If someone has
a copy could they please post it to me.


Thanks in advance
