I don't recall seeing a code example in this forum recently, but regardless,
this is a very easy one to implement... Surely you can do it Beata??
C'mon.. I have faith in you!!
BTW: What's the *real* reason you need to do this conversion anyway?.. Is it
just because the standard Palm FlpFToA spits out scientific notation??
