float input;
if (cin << input)
    // do your stuff here
else
    cout << "invalid";
should work (streams have implicit conversion to a boolean  type  that
can be used like this).
If you are programming under Windows 95, there might also be a problem
with floating point stream I/O when some older version of  the  System
Agent is running.
