(This is > the bug, part1) Sorry, but your code is buggy. You *must* prototype atof before using it, otherwise the default return type in C is "int" and obviously you get garbage in this case. Either include or declare it yourself. $ gcc -c -Wall file.c is a good check before blaming the compiler ... Also, you probably should upgrade your compiler tools to egcs.
