- Hello Netsurfers,
-
- Question: It seems like it is now possible to do floating point number ->
- text string conversion using system software instead of sprintf. By usg
- the international utilities (or is it part of SANE?) routine FormatX2Str,
- you can do this in a Script-sensitive way, too. Problem is, I have IM I-VI,
- but not the Worldwide Developer's Guide, nor the SANE Numerics manual. The
- routine I'm interested in is mentioned on page 14-49 of IM-VI. Does anyone
- have a little source code bit which shows how to use this routine? Any
- language is acceptable, I am mulngcomputerlingual. Thanks muchly.
