  Another similar 'bug' in the MJC lib.c library.  The routine 'putc' should
be moved down to a spot after the routine 'dopf'.  The author of the compiler
has very kindly contacted me and here's some info:
========================================================
  The order things appear in *libraries* is
significant.  The assembler/linker makes a single pass over the libs
(everything after the "-l" in the linker line) picking up all objects
(global data or functions) used but not yet defined.  The regular files (the
stuff preceding the "-l") has no constraints on what comes first.
=========================================================
 The author has been working on floats, but hasn't been satisfied with
results.   If anyone has any source code / textbooks on that subject,
please let me know so I may refer them to the author (per his request).
Also any PD floating point package????
 Thanks again, Mark.
