  Paul, the following was copied from the TC 3 on line help.

  - If you get a "floating point formats not linked" message at
    runtime, put the following somewhere in your source files:

	extern void _floatconvert();
	#pragma extref _floatconvert

    This will force inclusion of floating point formats, which
    may not be linked to reduce executable size.
