Subject:       float to string

Hello everybody,

is there a function that converts a float into a string (like 
ecvt, fcvt, and gcvt in TURBO C). I am converting "by hand" and want 
to know if there are some changes to the compiler now (wasn't there 
an e-,f-,gcvt entry in the info reader for GNU C 2.5.8? When I look 
into the new Info reader (that comes with GCC 2.6.x) I miss these 
entries [and I remember that I tried to use these functions with 
2.5.8 without any success -> undefined references errors]).

BTW: The TURBO C manual claims these funcions as "available on UNIX-
Systems".

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance,

Armin
