Hi All,

I am have a hech of a time using a simple floating point number in one of
my programs.

I am using IBM C/Set++ version 2.0 with patch CT_0009 applied.

Could someone with a similar setup please compile the following program:

main()
{
        float temp=26.4;
}

Then debug it, and tell me what you see as the value of temp, after the assignment?

My system tells me the value is 2.639996E+01.  Now that's not a huge
difference, I admit, but it's enough to really screw up my program.

Thanks,
    Chris
