Let me ask a couple of questions: does the Microware C support double (AKA "long float") variables? If so, do they follow K & R, and *automatically* convert all float to double? /* ---------- */ Yup, and yup. They do indeed follow the moosehead conventions of K&R C in this respect. Float is four bytes, double eight. James Jones
