First question: we can't find any documentation for strtod >on the NeXT; is there any? strtod is defined in /usr/include/stdlib.h as: extern double strtod(const char *nptr, char **endptr); There doesn't seem to be a man page for it, however. The second question (does strtod behave correctly on the NeXT) is still open. -- Dennis Jespersen MS 202A-1 NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 Voice: (415) 604-6742 FAX: (415) 604-1095 email: jesperse@rft28.nas.nasa.gov We have met the enemy and he is us. -- Pogo
