This must support floating point to be conforming, so you will have to take that up with your vendor. It does not have to support standard IO so you may have to write what you need. (Hosted compilers do have to support standard IO.) : Is there anybody who wrote such conversion routines or knows where : I can find some on the net ? You won't get much on this newsgroup. You could try on something like comp.sources.wanted. You could look at a public domain compiler such as GCC (this accepts ANSI C and I am sure there are versions that generate 68k code). You can also read "The standard C library" by P.J.Plauger, publisher Prentice Hall. ISBN 0-13131509-9 which contains example implementations. -- Stephen Baynes baynes@mulsoc2.serigate.philips.nl Philips Semiconductors Ltd Southampton My views are my own. United Kingdom
