Not exactly. FlpAToF() will accept a string such as "3.1415926". It's the
complementary function FlpFToA() that spits out the string in scientific
notation.
Didier, I'm not sure why your code isn't working. Still, if you're using
MathLib, maybe it's best to avoid the Palm NewFloatMgr.h types and routines
altogether. Someone suggested a state table.
