$The problem is that sometimes TC forgets to link in the floating point formats,
$just as the message says.  I don't know the exact conditions to force linking,
$but an explicit reference to a certain routine is sufficient.  The routine is
$named something like __turbofloat.  You'll have to use TDUMP on a .OBJ file
$that works, and look through the externals it declares, to find the exact name.
$Then add a line something like
$  if (1 == 0 )
$     __turbofloat();

   Assuming that Duncan is correct about the routine name as being
__turbofloat, note that the call would have to be

if (1 == 0)
   _turbofloat ();

since C compilers prepend symbol names with underscores upon compilation.
