I'm having a problem using scanf in Turbo C 2.01.

When I have the code

         fscanf(f,"%f",x);

it compiles and links fine, but at run time I get

 scanf : floating point formats not linked
Abnormal program termination

The same code compiles and runs fine under TC v1.5.
any suggestions? (I've already tried RTFM. Twice!)
(TC v2.01 is exhibiting other buggy behaviour, including hanging, and odd chars
on the screen, esp when run on a network. Is it only me, or are other people
having problems? )
