After suffering through flames, I was told that I needed to include
a FP operation or declaration for the compliler to see (like
"float  f = 1.0;").  It was then supposed to link in the required
support, and I wouldn't see the above message (or the one that
my printf was displaying).  It didn't work.

However, running the BCC command, and allowing it to automatically
link a file that contained scanf/printf FP formats with no other
referrence, worked!  I aborted the BCC command during the link
phase, and examined the ``turboc.$ln'' file that the compiler
automatically creates (and destroys).

My link file scanned libraries in this order:

             d:\bcc\lib\cl+
             d:\bcc\lib\mathl+
             d:\bcc\lib\emu

however, changing the order to that appearing in the
``turboc.$ln'' file:

             d:\bcc\lib\emu+
             d:\bcc\lib\mathl+
             d:\bcc\lib\cl

made my program work perfectly -- without any kludgy constants
or procedures.

Try it.
