Hi Paul



 PE> /* This program demonstrates a bug in Borland C++ 3.1 and

 PE>    Turbo C++ 1.0.



 PE>    It comes up with error message:

 PE>  scanf : floating point formats not linked

 PE> Abnormal program termination

Strange one. It happens in both my 3.0 and 4.02 . The problem

disappears if another scanf() family function (that doesn't use the

 &s->x format) is included somewhere in the program - it doesn't

have to be called first, or even called at all, it just has to be

compiled. It doesn't even have to use the %f format, %i does the

trick as well. Very odd.



I get the same error message with

 main(){float f; fscanf(stdin,"%f",&f);}

if I turn off floating point support in the IDE.



Shall I raise this with Borland, or would you like to?



Cheers
