NewFloatMgr is Palm's implementation of the double/float/etc. types.
MathLib, actually does use the types in NewFloatMgr if I remember
correctly... in the 68k Processor pref panel of CW you'll see that for
'Floating Point' you can /should choose 'PalmOS'.

The NewFloatMgr is included in OS 2 and up.. you can statically link the
library for OS 1 if you want.
