strtof is missing

2002-11-23 Thread jblazi
I use a pretty new Cygwin release and I notice that the strtof function is missing in stdlib.h. On my Linux system the function is declared in stdlib.h. Can anybody help me? I should have to convert a string to a flat and this seems to be the only possibility. (O do not want to have double). TI
