Daniel Edelson reports trouble with the following C++ program:

   #include <stream.h>
   void foo(float l);
   void bar (float *lp);
   main()
   {
	   float l=1.5;

	   cout << "main: l == " << l << "\n";
	   foo(l);
   }

   void foo(float l)
   {
	   cout << "foo: l == " << l << "\n";
	   bar(&l);
   }

   void bar (float *lp)
   {
	   cout << "bar: *lp == " << *lp << "\n";
   }

When I it, it works fine -- but of course I don't have the same
software he does.  Looking at what he's trying to do, though,
I wonder if it might be a problem in his underlying C compiler.

Might I suggest hand translating this program into C and trying it?
