I have an application which processes floating point data
which runs fine under a US/UK installation of Windows (any)
but when run under a European installation where the decimal
separator is a comma rather than a dot I get a "x.xx is not a
valid floating point number" message.  The registry entry for
the decimal separator is sDecimal, but efforts to temporarily change this from a comma to a dot (while I do my processing) on the fly fail miserably.  Any ideas?
