Subject: Problems with Think C and sprintf() on Mac Plus

I'm having problems using sprintf to convert a float into a string
on the Mac Plus.  I am developing the program on a Mac II, but
when I tested the program on the Mac + it died.

I'm using Think C, and the code is like this

result = sprintf(c, " %f", f);
s = CtoPstr(c);
SetIText(item, s);


Basically, the text goes into a dialog box.  All of the variables are
declared properly, i.e.

double f;
char *s, *c;
...

Does anybody have any hints?  Is there a better way of doing this without
using sprintf()?  Also, I AM using the sprintf() in the "ANSI" library,
not the "ANSI-881", and I don't have the 68881 code generation option
checked.
